Block Cypress

Block Cypresses are aquatic defensive plants that can summon smaller cypress knees around it to form a defense.
== Overview ==
After being on the board for 7 seconds, a Block Cypress will start to randomly form cypress knees in the direct vicinity around it. These knees can take 27 ndb before they are eaten. The Block Cypress itself can take 35 bites.
If a zombie is on the tile where a knee is spawned, it will be pushed back into the air 2 spaces. Zombies are vulnerable to Blovers or Hurrikales during this time. A Block Cypress will not summon knees under plants. A knee can also be shoveled up. These knees can also appear on land if the Block Cypress is close enough.
If a Block Cypress is eaten, its knees will stay where they are.
Block Cypress is based off of the Taxodium distichum, also known as the bald cypress tree. Its name is a portmanteau of "bald cypress" and "block."
== Plant Food Ability ==
When Plant Food is used on a Block Cypress, it will summon eight armored cypress knees around it. These knees can take 30 ndb. If there are cypress knees already around the Block Cypress, they will also be armored. This completely heals the Block Cypress itself.
== Strategies ==
Plant Block Cypress in the 2nd and 4th rows, as here they can cover every lane with their knees. This allows for greater and wider protection for less of the cost.
Block Cypress is possibly your best defense in the water. While its high cost distinguishes itself from other defensive plants, the knees it can potentially endlessly create more than makes up for it. However, the high cost is more than enough reason to use it effectively.
Try to avoid planting them up by the entrance to the lawn, as Block Cypress can't create barriers if it's dead.
Block Cypress is also different from other defensive plants in that you cannot place Spikeweeds in front of it. However, Electric Currants on Lily Pads can be seen as an alternative.
Block Cypress works well on stages with limitations on plant count, as its knees do not count as a plant, letting you cover over three columns with defenses while only using two plants.

== Trivia ==
* Block Cypress can be seen as the antithesis to Zircornium, as the former creates protection around itself, while the latter creates desolation around itself.
