Meters?[edit]

Us folks in America do not use the metric system. We don't know what 10-14 is when talking about high big the fricking tree gets. Please use Feet or at least put how tall the tree gets in (). Thank you Eurotrash!

Merge[edit]

USDA says it's the same plant. http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/taxon.pl?320215 Riversid (talk) 01:50, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There is no need to merge these two distinct species:

Malus rockii Rehder is an accepted name ref. http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl1.1/record/rjp-7024
Malus baccata (L.) Borkh. is an accepted name ref. http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl1.1/record/rjp-5766

Flora of China is an authoritative reference and it considers the two species to be separate, so please do not merge: http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=200010914 http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=200010898 Sminthopsis84 (talk) 12:14, 11 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with that, it is enough to keep it as a separate sp. article. I placed the reference and removed the link to this discussion. Ruff tuff cream puff (talk) 16:30, 4 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
