Dispute of china as top producer
The Chinese culture always exaggerate everything by a factor of 10. Its really 3,700,000. instead of 37,000,000. Even 3.7 million is hard to believe since you barely see apples sold in stores in china, unless you are counting asian pears, plums, or oranges as apples. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Applediscordia (talk • contribs) 07:00, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
- China exports alot of apples however and 37 million is the true figure Flow 234 (Nina) talk 16:08, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
Suggestion
In the section History, The wording "Apples were brought to North America" shold be replaced by, "Apples were taken to North America", or even "Apples were introduced into North America", as it is very US-centric in it's present form. 93.155.220.100 (talk) 08:16, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
- please show us reliable sources about this.--AlfaRocket (talk) 19:52, 27 August 2017 (UTC)

History
There is a contention that the domestication of apples -- not just dwarf apples -- took place in Kazakhstan: http://steppemagazine.com/articles/sweet-pilgrimage-two-british-apple-growers-in-the-tian-shan/ , with reference to "Nikolai Vavilov (1887–1943)[, who] had traced the whole process of apple domestication to Almaty."

Bad references
I just reviewed some references. I started with short, unlinked references which may be difficult to verify. Found several (too many based on the number reviewed) references unrelated to statements. Looks like contributor(s) are adding statements and randomly assigning existing references to them. <ref name=food/> is an example that I have not removed. The reference would be quite good for some info BUT not the statements currently referenced.User-duck (talk) 01:47, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
Why is this article protected?
This article contains long sections of unreferenced claims. The alleged blossoming times (in May!) for example make no sense, except perhaps for some northerly locations like Scotland or Scandinavia? Clearly the registered editors are not coping. Please release this article from its editorial prison and allow it to thrive. 81.131.172.83 (talk) 09:22, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
- Hi, by all means get an account and help to improve the article. Peter coxhead (talk) 11:00, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
