Chest-nut

Small Chestnut Team (板栗小队; pinyin: bǎnlì xiǎoduì) is a plant in the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2. Chestnut seeds come out of the shell and headbutt zombies. They can go to attack zombies that are far away while acting as defensive plants at the same time. Zombies will attack the seeds first instead of the plant on the tile where the seeds are located. Once one of the seeds is eaten up, another new seed will soon come out from the shell to replace it. If the zombies get behind them, they will follow those zombies and keep attacking. The chestnuts are also semi-defensive similar to Vigorous Broccoli, Pea-nut, Red Stinger, Endurian, and Durian.

These little chestnuts like to live together. When someone asks them the reason, they tell their experience with pride. A group of chestnuts who just graduated live in a small home and work hard together, help each other, want to be great chestnuts. At the end of the story, they never forget to complain the evil behavior of a small chestnut called "Handsome Boy", who takes up too much room...... However, one of their classmates, Bamboo, who has known them for many years tells the truth with just one sentence: "They just don't have enough money to pay the rent".

Strategies
This is a really versatile and decent plant which is able to damage and defend at the same time. Its costumed Plant Food can instantly kill zombies, being one of the few able to do that. The plant itself is really good for a solid 175 sun and a sluggish recharge.

Advisable to be used with Laser Bean or Winter Melon. No need for a defensive plant, as this already is one. Handle with care, as this plant can be overwhelmed, as is not the most defensive of them all. It is advisable to have it with a Heavenly Peach to guarantee it to survive later waves.

Plant Food effect
When fed with Plant Food, Small Chestnut Team creates a group of chestnuts to attack zombies ahead of them.

Costumed
It summons a big chestnut after the small ones, which instantly kills the zombies on the path.

Trivia

 * The chestnuts can move to another tile if they are attacked.
 * When the chestnuts attack a Mecha-Football Zombie, they will move with it.
