Oranges are splitting and then falling off the tree, what would cause this?

We have a Washington Orange tree and for some reason the oranges have started splitting and falling off the tree, do you know what might be causing this to happen?Oranges are splitting and then falling off the tree, what would cause this?
Many reasons:


Not enough water.


Too much Water.


Too much fertilizing. (They grow faster than they're able to and split.)


Coule be some sort of bugs messing up the tree's natural order.Oranges are splitting and then falling off the tree, what would cause this?
because of the gravity of the earth........
Coldness!
Over-watering once the oranges have reached near full size. Sometimes this happens to a limited number of oranges and the rest are okay. The orange has a 18 month cycle and if you have a bad(wet) winter there is not much you can do. Just be glad a hurricane did not knock them all off the tree. Also you do not want a fungus to grow on the fallen oranges infecting the rest of the crop, so pick them up and discard.
had the same trouble with tomatoes,,was told that over watering can cause it,over fertilizing also
the evil celery or evil leprachons!
