I'm having a great year for tomatoes, but now that they're ripening I'm encountering a weird issue with Sungold cherries splitting after I pick them. I'm tried pinching a bit of the stem off so I'm not tearing anything, but I'll look down in my basket after picking a bunch and inevitably a good handful have split. The plants look healthy, soil is evenly moist and mulched, and nothing is splitting on the vine. Barring water issues, would picking Sungolds when they're slightly underripe (yellowish-orange instead of perfectly orange) help prevent this? I'm growing other tomato varieties, but I haven't seen this issue with them.
