It does not have any traits, and its ability makes a Half-Banana on each of the two lanes adjacent to it when it is destroyed, unless those lanes are either aquatic lanes or occupied by a plant without the Team-Up trait. Its closest zombie counterpart is Barrel Roller Zombie.
Banana Split's name and ability are based on the eponymous real-life dessert, which consists of a banana being sliced in half from the middle.

Strategies
With
Banana Split has average stats for a 4 plant, with 4/4. However, its ability can be useful for blocking dangerous threats next door (minus the aquatic lane). If there are two strong zombies on adjacent lanes, you can play Banana Split in front of the first strong zombie and let it get destroyed. In general, you can treat it as Barrel Roller Zombie, but with better stats and the lack of any traits.
You can also use Banana Split's ability to boost Muscle Sprout, although it requires spacing. The Half-Bananas made when the Banana Split is destroyed count as playing plants, therefore playing Banana Split and letting it be destroyed gives Muscle Sprout +3/+3.
Captain Combustible can also use this plant to activate Astro-Shroom's ability three times in a similar fashion to Muscle Sprout, doing 3 unblockable damage to his opponent.
Against
While Banana Split has decent stats, it does not have the Deadly trait like Barrel Roller Zombie. Still, you need to be careful when your opponent plays this as it can block powerful attacks from up to three (one for Banana Split itself and two for the Half-Bananas next turn) of your strong zombies.
