It is based on an apricot, a fruit in the genus Prunus.
Its name is a portmanteau of "zap," referring to the fact that it attacks with electricity, and "apricot," the real-life plant it is based on.
Its description makes a pun about the word "shocked," as it means both "surprised" and "zapped with electricity."

Strategies
With
Zapricot has similar stats to Template:PvZH Link, except Zapricot has 1 more strength, costs 1 more sun, and is in the Kabloom class. However, unlike Fire Peashooter, it is not a pea plant, meaning it cannot be used with Template:PvZHLink nor The Podfather. In fact, there are no cards that specifically benefit or synergize with fruit plants. If you are playing as Captain Combustible, Fire Peashooter is a better choice if you're planning to put the previously said boosting plants in your deck.
Since it has a high base strength, you can boost its stats for it to become stronger or make it do bonus attacks with tricks such as Template:PvZHLink or Fertilize.
Zapricot hits very hard and can destroy or badly damage any zombie that can come on turn 3. Fortunately though, it does not have much health. You can sacrifice a weak zombie or use a cheap trick to destroy it easily, such as Bungee Plumber. If it really threatens you, you can use Rocket Science on it, but this is not recommended unless it is going to defeat you and you have run out of other options.
