Tall-nut

The Tall-nut is a tougher version of the Wall-nut. Tall-nuts also prevent Pole Vaulting Zombies, Dolphin Rider Zombies, and Pogo Zombies from jumping, although Ladder Zombies can still climb over them, and Gargantuars and Zombonis can squash them like other plants still.

Can take 144 bites. Appearance changes at 48 bites and 96 bites before being swallowed at 144 bites.

Suburban Almanac Entry

Tall-nuts are heavy-duty wall plants that can't be vaulted over.

Toughness: very high

Special: can't be vaulted or jumped over

People wonder if there's a rivalry between Wall-nut and Tall-nut. Tall-nut laughs a rich baritone laugh. "How could there be anything between us? We are brothers. If you knew what Wall-nut has done for me..." Tall-nut's voice trails off and he smiles knowingly.

Cost: 125

Recharge: slow

Strategy
Don't depend solely on Tall-nuts unless you also have an Imitater Tall-nut, as the slow recharge time will often leave you without any defenses. They work especially well in conjunction with Spikeweed and Spikerocks, so many strategies employ the combo as a first line of defense on the far right. It is recommended that you purchase Wall-nut First Aid to be able to place replacement Tall-nuts on top of damaged ones without having to dig them up first. Tall-nuts should also be used in the pool to prevent Dolphin Rider Zombies from breaching your defenses.

These are a good choice for the Mini-game Pogo Party, and the Imitater version should be also used.

ZomBotany 2 Mini-game
The Tall-nut Zombies in the ZomBotany 2 Mini-game are very resistant to high amounts of damage. The best plan is to stop them with Wall-nuts or Tall-nuts while doing heavy damage to them. It's health is comparable to a Gargantuar except it takes 6 shots less.

Trivia

 * For some reason when a Gloom-shroom is planted behind it (in the same row or the rows above and below) the Gloom-shroom will not attack zombies in front of it unless a Dolphin Rider Zombie, Pole Vaulting Zombie, or Pogo Zombie tries to jump over the Tall-nut. This may be because the Tall-nut is large enough that the zombies cannot enter the square, so they cannot get inside the Gloom-shroom's range.
 * Before a Tall-nut is completely eaten it will shed a single tear.
 * Garlic has the same Tear animation before it is eaten as well.
 * When zombies are eating a Tall-nut it will stop its animation and just stand still.
 * The Tall-nut is one of four plants that will slowly degrade as they are eaten. The others being the Wall-nut, Pumpkin, and Garlic.
 * The Tall-nut is the tallest plant in the game.
 * In some cases, Dolphin Rider Zombies can jump over a Tall-nut.
 * On the title screen, the Tall-nut has eyebrows, although in the game it doesn't.Tallnut.jpg
