Do you love to be alone on earth ? Nor does a papaya tree. Trees are beings like humans or animals - at least very similar. Papaya trees love company of a wild mix of other trees, plants and bushes. Like shown here in the picture - this almost fully grown papaya tree - may be 7 months old - is enjoys healthy growth amidst bananas, coconut palms, hot pepper, corn and other plants. Papaya neither takes energy away from its neighbors nor do neighboring plants take life force away from papaya trees. They all just peacefully live in symbiosis - enjoying each other's company.
