Thanks Brian. Spray the peaches first sounds like the best idea.

Art,
I did exactly what you are describing by accident one time. Had a mix of
Topsin/Captan/CaCl for apples and sprayed a few late ripening peaches
(Sept. Snow, Victoria) not thinking about the CaCl. I wouldn't say that
it had any disastrous effects, but the foliage looked a little off for a
few
Thanks George,
I was mostly wondering if I could mix one tank with calcium chloride
for apples and use it on peaches also. I was also wondering if there was
any firmness benefit. I also understand that chlorine and peaches may not
be a good mix.

Hi All:
I don't know any good reason to spray calcium on peaches.
Is there a benefit you want to get?
Having said that I do remember some research from India where the post harvest
handling of peaches is mostly without refrigeration. As I recall they got a
small benefit from the application
Calcium chloride on peaches?
