8-Bicot Tree

8-Bicot Tree is a plant in Plants vs. Zombies 2. They are unlocked in Arboreal Arcade
When planted, 8-Bicot Tree serves up an 8-Bicot at the nearest zombie within three lanes. The 8-Bicot will bounce off the zombie, increasing in speed, and back toward the player's side of the field. If the 8-Bicot hits an 8-Bicot Tree, the tree will return service, bouncing the 8-Bicot back, with another boost of speed, and a boost to damage. Upon hitting a fifth zombie, the 8-Bicot will deal critical damage, and burst, dealing a small amount of splash damage.
== Origins ==
8-Bicot Tree is based on an Apricot tree, a relative of the peach and plum trees. Their appearance is also designed after a ping-pong paddle, and their behavior is based on the game Pong. 
8-Bicot Tree's name is a portmanteau of 8-Bit, a term used to describe the processing power of old computers, particularly video game consoles, and apricot tree.

=== Plant Food effect ===
When fed Plant Food, 8-Bicot Tree will quickly fire off two shots, and then a third shot that immediately hits for critical damage, and splash damage.
=== Appease-mint effect ===
When boosted by Appease-mint, 8-Bicot Tree will serve a new shot every 5 seconds, and each shot can hit 10 zombies before breaking.
==Strategies==
8-Bicot Tree is mediocre at best when alone, but becomes very useful when planted in a column, as every rebound shot is guaranteed to be returned. However, the aim on returns is less reliable, so against single targets 8-Bicot Tree is unlikely to build up a powerful shot
