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
