Gravitree is a galacticsuper-rareplantcard in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes, and a member of the Guardian class. It costs 6 to play, and has 6/7. It has the Armored 1 trait, and its ability moves any zombie played on a different lane to the lane it is on, unless its lane is already occupied by another zombie.
Gravitree is based on a tree (specifically the apple tree), which are perennial plants that store carbon and remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Its design of an apple tree and connection to gravity reference the story of how Isaac Newton supposedly was inspired to create his law of universal gravitation after watching an apple fall from a tree.
Its name is a portmanteau of "gravity," referring to its ability, and "tree," the real-life plant it is based on.
Its description references the phrase "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree."

Strategies
With
Gravitree is a very good plant with a good ability, above average stats, and a nice trait for a 6-sun plant. Gravitree can both hit hard and can take quite a beating. However, its ability is the core part of this plant. It will move any zombie played to its lane, assuming nothing is on its lane. By turn 6, there will barely be any zombies that are able to destroy Gravitree nor survive, making it a really safe play on turn 6. It also forces your opponent to play an extra zombie in order to play a zombie on a desired lane, making them waste brains as well. Gravitree is also a great counter to Hail-a-Copter, moving the made Copter Commando to Gravitree's lane.
Gravitree can also be used to move cards into unfavorable environments, such as Spikeweed Sector or Bog of Enlightenment. This will work similarly to a Template:PvZHLink for zombies, as they will get moved to the environment, then receive the effects. You can also play Template:PvZHLink on the lane Gravitree is on to protect it from Deadly or high-strength zombies.
Against
Against Gravitree, try to play instant-kills like Rocket Science or Locust Swarm. To negate Gravitree's ability, you can play a cheap zombie first, then the zombie of your choice. That way, said zombie can be played without it being moved to Gravitree's lane.
A better way to counter Gravitree, however, is by using moving cards like Sumo Wrestler, Terrify, or Smoke Bomb. This will effectively negate Gravitree's ability for the turn.
As a last resort, use Deadly zombies with 2 strength or more, or non-Deadly zombies with 7 strength or more to destroy it instantly. However, this strategy is useless if Gravitree is in Force Field.
