    As I said, and as Dove said, it looks like BER. Can you take another photo from the bottom of the tom? The current angle is tricky. Also a photo of the bottom of the other fruit that is showing the same signs?

    If it is BER, the patch will gradually darken to a very dark brown almost black. The patch will also develop a leathery texture.

    In the meantime, can you think of anything that might have stressed the plants? Changed watering regime? Temp fluctuations? Strong winds?

    That's BER in the first photo. Early days for the one on the right in the second photo but it could be suspect. Time will tell.

    All you can do is think about what might be causing stress for the plants. As I said earlier, sometimes there appears to be no explanation.
