Bzzzzz...

The official name of this plant is Spinnapple. However, a literal translation can be found in its infobox. The official name is to be used on all pages that refer to this plant.

Not to be confused with Spineapple, a card in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes.

Spinnapple (旋转菠萝; pinyin: xuánzhuǎn bōluó) is the seventh and final plant of Sky City in the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2. He is the flying equivalent of Wall-nut, and is also capable of reflecting Zombie Fighter's projectiles.

Origins

Spinnapple is based on the fruit of the pineapple (Ananas comosus), a tropical plant with edible multiple fruit.

His name comes from "spin", reffering to his spinning leaves and "pineapple", the plant he's based on.

Almanac entry

旋转菠萝 Spinnapple	TOUGHNESS High RECHARGE Sluggish
	旋转菠萝可以阻挡僵尸前进, 并通过旋转自身反弹远程子弹。 特点：旋转时可以反弹子弹 植物特征：黄色植物、旋风家族、飞行植物 为了满足飞上天空的梦想，菠萝从小时候看过的动画片中寻得了灵感：他把头上的叶子改造成了竹蜻蜓并希望自己能在天空中自由的翱翔。如我们所见的一样，这个异想天开的点子居然成功了！不过副作用也很明显：他不得不每隔一段时间跟着旋转一下以抵消一部分叶子旋转带来的压力。

Strategies

This plant is very useful in Sky City because of his ability to fly and reflect bullets. You should use him the same way as using Wall-nut, but plant him in the sky instead. You can also use him to block Zombie Fighter's bullets to save your other airborne plants. However, using him in other worlds is  not reccomended, as Spinnapple has a slightly higher sun cost than Wall-nut and his Plant Food effect is completely useless when not used against Zombie Fighter except for Spinnapple healing, while Wall-nut's Plant Food doubles his health.
