Calcium moves downward slowly. Nitrogen moves down about like the water, potassium a little slower, and phosphorus very slowly; i.e., about 1 inch per year.
Large trees with deeper roots can be fertilized sooner than young trees without as much loss due to leaching.
Calcium Chloride is used to spray tomatoes as a foliar nutrient spray.

How early can fertilization be done?  Is there a loss of effectiveness?
 
Can the calcium chloride used for sidewalks be used for fruit sprays?
 
Thanks,
