Interesting Dennis.  The PA Tree Fruit Production Guide actually  recommends 
Calcium Chloride:
 
<<The effective use of calcium chloride tree sprays may be the most  
cost-effective, quickest cultural practice for reducing low-calcium  physiological 
disorders in apples. We recommend applying 15 to 50 pounds of  calcium chloride 
per acre per season in six to eight cover sprays. Calcium in  the form of 
calcium chloride is recommended because of its proven effectiveness  and lower 
cost. >>
 
I wasn't going to apply it at near the top rate.
 
Is there non-walkway calcium chloride, i.e. for spraying.  Is there a  
difference?  
 
I do plan to look into this other spray Dennis, thank you.
