Not sure if this is indended or not, but the somewhat controversial mother tree hypothesis stipulates exactly this -- trees borrowing carbohydrates (sugar) from neighbors via mycorrhizal networks.

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

ya beat me to it
Do they use cups though?
I thought the small one was a parasite - wanting the sugar. It would work as a joke with specific taxa.
You'd think a solar powered sugar factory would know about sugar.
They understand the sugar; they don't know what a cup is.
The mycelium network connecting them knows.
Who tf puts sugar in a cup
someone baking cookies on a recipe that calls for a cup of sugar
Like a small cup or a big cup? I'd rather just use my scale, it's important to be accurate when baking
Why not? You prefer bottles? Sacks? Shovels? Cat asses? Hats?
"You want some cream?"
"Uh... Yeah."
