He is based on the seed of the cashew tree (Anacardium occidentale), which is also known as the cashew nut or simply cashew.
His name is a combination of "small," referring to his size, and "nut," the real-life plant he is based on.

Strategies[]
With[]
Small-Nut should be used early-game as a weak shield for early defense, assuming you decide to use him (presumably because you have nothing else to use). He can be used with Mirror-Nut to do direct damage to your opponent while Smackadamia helps improve Small-Nut's durability, although Small-Nut is useless once you do get to play Smackadamia.
However, as you progress throughout the game, you can find better alternatives for this plant such as Forget-Me-Nuts, Potato Mine, Galacta-Cactus, and Garlic, which have better stats as well as an ability. Even as cheap fodder for Evolution, there is no reason to use Small-Nut over the aforementioned plants because unlike him, they have their uses outside of Evolution.
Against[]
Due to his incredibly weak stats, any damaging zombie or trick can immediately destroy this plant. That being said, letting this plant hurt you can sometimes be a good strategy, seeing how 1 damage can be a good trade-off for letting your Super-Block Meter build up so you can block a stronger hit later on. Instead, focus on more dangerous ones like Mirror-Nut first.
