* Fire Peashooter
* Ghost Pepper

* Hot Potato
* Jack O' Lantern

== Origins ==
Summer Poboostukawa is based on the Pohutukawa Tree (otherwise known as Metrosideros Excelsa), a native tree in New Zealand that produces red flowers around Christmas time. It is known for this, and is otherwise known as New Zealand's Christmas Tree.
Summer Poboostukawa's name is based off three things, Summer, referring to it's fire plant boosts, Pohutukawa, the plant that Poboostukawa is based on, and Boost, referring to its ability to boost plant in a 3x3 area.

=== Plant Food effect ===
Summer Poboostukawa, when boosted with Plant Food, will boost all plants more than it usually does for 10 seconds. At this time, Summer Poboostukawa is immune to all zombie attacks.
=== Pepper-mint effect ===
When boosted by Pepper-mint, Summer Poboostukawa will boost fire plants more and it will also make Pepper-mints attack deal more damage.
== Strategies ==
Summer Poboostukawa is a good plant to use with plants like Peashooter and other plants that can transform into fire plants. Usually fire plants are more expensive in sun than normal plants, which can use to save them. However, it is not good at all with ice/snow plants, as with plants like Snow Pea, they will have to transform into a Peashooter before turning into a Fire Peashooter, this will make Snow Pea lose it's ability and isn't really a good payoff to use it with.
However, if plants cannot turn into their fire versions, then they are relatively good to use with Summer Poboostukawa as they can gain a small boost regardless.
