Is it true that in Oz you look at Baobobs standing on your head so that they
can seem to grow right-side up?
Sorry about your not being able to get a woody, bloker.

All trees are plants.
Carica papaya does have a woody trunk and is a tree. Maybe not as woody
as
some other arborescent plants but that is just a matter of degree.
Bloke I know who spent some years breeding the things always claimed
they had no lignified tissue, therefore not "woody". (And after
cutting down many pawpaw trees with a blunt cane knife over the years,
I can confirm they are not in the least woody -- at least as far as
people here in Oz understand the term. YMMV.)
A woody trunk makes arborescent palms trees. The presence or absences of
branches doesn't matter.
Who said bonasi weren't trees? It wasn't me.
Cheers, Phred.
