Identify this tree? I found this tree in Crete, Greece close to the sea, planted next to a building. Since I haven't seen this tree anywhere else in the island, I suppose it was planted by someone. Here are some pictures of it. ![Whole tree]( ![Fruit Close-up]( ![Fruit Close-up 2](

Based on the distinctive leaf shape and placement of the fruit along the stem that appears to be a papaya.

If so then the plant should "bleed" latex (a milky white fluid) when damaged. You can test this by breaking off a small piece leaf. ![Papaya tree in Kinshasa, DRC]( Image credit: By Max.kit - Own work, CC BY-SA 4.0, <
