Exploding fruit mechanism

I'm designing an alien tree species that produces small purple fruits at the edge of its braches. Now a few seconds after one of these fruits falls from the tree it makes a small explosion so that its seeds can grow into new trees in a different location. My quiestion is, how could such a mechanism of explosion work for a fruit, and how could something like that evolve in the first place
