- For other uses, see Cabbage-pult (disambiguation).
Cabbage-pult is the first offensive lobber plant available in Plants vs. Zombies 2. He is unlocked after beating Day 4 of the Player's House.
Cabbage-pult lobs cabbages at half the fire rate of a normal Peashooter, but deals twice as much damage for each cabbage meaning that Cabbage-pult deals identical damage per second to Peashooter in practice.
His projectiles can bypass tombstones in Ancient Egypt and Dark Ages, as well as certain types of shields employed by the zombies and submerged Snorkel Zombies in Big Wave Beach.

Strategies[]
Cabbage-pult is generally more useful as a starting plant compared to Peashooter and area-of-effect plants, as it is capable of bypassing obstacles, such as tombstones in Ancient Egypt and the Dark Ages. Cabbage-pults can also be a good starter in the Pirate Seas, as they can defeat Barrel Roller Zombie without destroying the barrel first. They are also great with fighting Excavator Zombies and underwater Snorkel Zombies.
Conversely, in the Wild West, it is advised to use Peashooters or area-of-effect plants rather than Cabbage-pults, since the slower rate of fire will hamper Cabbage-pult when combating Zombie Chickens. In Frostbite Caves, however, Peashooters tend to perform poorly against Hunter Zombies or Troglobites, making Cabbage-pults and area-of-effect plants a viable option for defeating against these zombies. However, if you choose to use Cabbage-pult, they should be supported by other plants due to the risks of Ice Weasels, who behave in the same manner as Zombie Chickens. It is also recommended that you use area-of-effect plants rather than Cabbage-pult or Peashooter in Dark Ages or Lost City. In Dark Ages, Jester Zombies will constantly reflect them dealing a lot of damage to your plants. In Lost City, Excavator Zombies and Parasol Zombies can pair up in large numbers, making it hard for single-target projectile plants to deal with them since they can stop most of their projectiles, especially in Temple of Bloom.
Cabbage-pult's Plant Food ability will be the first tool available that could affect all targets on the screen, regardless of zombie density. While it is relatively weak, as Conehead Zombies and other moderate-health zombies can absorb multiple hits from the Plant Food ability, it is reasonably useful for neutralizing large amounts of weaker enemies and clearing the way for more powerful offensive plants and can also be used as a life saver if there are many weak zombies about to reach the lawn mowers or house.
Plants vs. Zombies 2 (Chinese version) (China only)[]
It is advised to upgrade him to level 5 before using because a level 5 Cabbage-pult can deal splash damage, removing one of its weaknesses.

Trivia[]
- "Harvest University" is a pun on Harvard University, one of the most prestigious universities in the United States.
- Unlike in Plants vs. Zombies, Plants vs. Zombies 2 gives the player the Cabbage-pult very early in the game while the first game introduces it near the end.
- Before the 5.7.1 update, his normal projectile sprite for levels 1-4 was different from his Plant Food projectile sprite.
- He is the only Player's House plant that doesn't have a "Primal" counterpart.
- However, this was likely because he was not a Player's House Plant upon the release of the "Primal" counterparts, as seen above.
- Cabbage-pult is the only plant to heve his firing rate increased through level upgrades in both international and Chinese versions.
