Punch Tree

Punch Tree is the second plant obtained in Deserted Canyon in Plants vs. Zombies: The Wacky House. Punch Tree attacks by smashing downward into the ground every three seconds, creating a shockwave which stuns zombies near it for 0.5 seconds. Its area-of-effect is a 3x3 area around itself. Punch Tree deals 20 damage each time it attacks, and it has an elevated toughness of 900.
If placed on a zipline, it will affect both the 3x3 area on the zipline and below the zipline.
== Origins ==
Punch Tree is based off of the palm tree, a type of plant in the Arecaceae family of plants. Its name is a combination of the words "punch" and "palm tree."

== Strategies ==
Punch Tree is capable of reliably and consistently slowing down the zombie horde. Punch Tree thrives when he is not faced with instant-killing zombies. While he may not seem to deal a lot of damage initially, his area-of-effect can aid in dealing damage to a potentially infinite amount of zombies in its area. 
Punch Trees can be paired with s to prevent zombies from eating it, allowing it to deal more damage and to create more stun. Plants like also work well with Punch Tree's stun ability. Spikeweed, and similar plants, will be able to deal more damage since the zombies on it will be slowed down. Punch Trees also offer a way to slow zombies down without any chilling effects. This means one could use it in strategies involving fire plants like , while also being able to slow down zombies without being affected by the Sun Tanning Zombie.
The ziplines in Deserted Canyon gives Punch Tree a notable advantage of being able to deal damage to zombies below it. Its area-of-effect can be fully utilized without the player having to worrying about most zombies eating it. However, one should still be cautious of any zombies that may make their way on the ziplines.
