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)
- 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)
- 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)
