Default Bramleys

South east England. A mature tree and this year a bumper crop. Last year's
problem of bitter pit was solved by advice from this Newsgroup recommending
spraying by calcium. This year perfect large fruits harvested by hand
develop large brown patches within days of picking. Could calcium have been
the culprit? Probably too late to take any action at this late stage, but is
there any advice on how to avoid this disease in the future?
