Bzzzzz...

The official name of this plant is Loquat. However, a literal translation can be found in its infobox. The official name is to be used on all pages that refer to this plant.

Loquat (旋涡枇杷; pinyin: xuánwō pípá) is the first plant obtained in Sky City in the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2. She draws zombies from a 3x3 area, behaving like Sweet Potato, but she smacks the zombies she pulls on each other, which can deal massive damage to the zombies she pulls.

Origins

Loquat is based on the loquat, a fruit from the Rosaceac family, which is native to China.

Almanac entry

旋涡枇杷 Loquat	DAMAGE Massive AREA 3x3 RECHARGE Slow
	旋风橡果可以攻击前方一排的僵尸，并击断海象僵尸的牙齿。 特点：攻击前方一排僵尸，并击断海象僵尸的牙齿。 植物特征：黄色植物、旋风家族 旋风橡果非常喜欢运动。他曾经与回旋镖竞争过植物运动会飞盘表演赛的冠军，可惜后者用一手四方飞盘的技术打败了他。为了能在下一届运动会中能有出彩表现，他开始疯狂练习跑步，他对自己拥有玩飞盘的经验感觉信心满满：他已经可以利用旋转跑出最快的起步速度——副作用是冲出一段距离之后会回旋回来。

Strategy

This plant is completely useless by herself (unless costumed). A good way to use this plant is to combine her with Cherry Bomb, Grapeshot or, Jalapeno, but you have to time their usage.

This plant is better used with her costume. Using Area-of-Effect plants such as Spikeweed, Potato Mine and Winter Melon can deal with the increased stack. Just don't let the stack reach your plants or it will quickly tear through the defenses easily.

This plant is best to use at where she belongs, as she can deal damage to zombies there, and this is also where her level up works.

Loquats are also able to block the bullet attack of the Zombot Eagle-tron, which can wipe the lawn clean if not blocked effectively.
