Block Cypress

Block Cypresses are aquatic defensive plants that can summon smaller cypress knees around it to form a defense.

Overview
After being on the board for 7 seconds, a Block Cypress will start to randomly form cypress knees in the direct vicinity around it. These knees can take 15 ndb before they are eaten. The Block Cypress itself can take 35 bites.

If a zombie is on the tile where a knee is spawned, it will be pushed back into the air 2 spaces. Zombies are vulnerable to Blovers or Hurrikales during this time. A Block Cypress will not summon knees under plants. A knee can also be shoveled up. These knees can also appear on land if the BC is close enough.

If a Block Cypress is eaten, its knees will stay where they are.

Block Cypress is based off of the Taxodium distichum, also known as the bald cypress tree. Its name is a portmanteau of "bald cypress" and "block."

Plant Food Ability
When Plant Food is used on a Block Cypress, it will summon eight armored cypress knees around it. These knees can take 30 ndb. If there are cypress knees already around the Block Cypress, they will also be armored. This completely heals the Block Cypress itself.
