Ya know, this is actually kind of good. It's not mainlist ready, but I could maybe see a version of this working.

And they didn’t even get it right. They could have at least made those travesties they called bananas as good as the original. But no, that would have demanded them hard work. Instead, they produced those pale, cheap imitations of hanabs. My hanabs are nearly twice as nourishing! They don’t even put beta-carotene in their fruits. All they did was flood the market with these abominations until my dear hanabs where forgotten. I hope fungus infects every last one of those Musas and that they rot in place until their roots fail and they topple to the ground. Oh my! Oh, my my my… That wasn’t a very nice thing to say. It seems I got carried away, again. Apologies sir.

Thanks a lot.
The reason he's a spruce tree is precisely because they don't produce fruit. For some reason, the idea of say, an apple tree making bananas just sounded flat to me. My original idea was that some tree species were trying to invent ways to be useful to humans, thus guaranteeing the survival of their kind for as long as human live. So SCP-XXXX's plan was to invent a popular fruit, and spread it all his spruce-kin. Should he have succeeded, all spruce would have produced fruit.
Random fact: originally, he was going to be an Eastern Cottonwood, but I did my research and learned that these tree mesure around 20 meters, and from some reason I felt like it would have been a massive pain to move to containment. The Foundation has an immortal lizard and a serial killer who can phase through walls in containment, but for some reason I can't see it quickly moving a big tree from point A to point B (I know, I'm weird). Although, if everything goes as I plan and I end up writing tales surrounding Site-blank-blank, I could turn this into a punchline ("You mean we drove that huge thing for 40 k and all we got were orange bananas!")
I'll think about the log. I didn't want to do it at first, since I have a bad habit of letting jokes go on for too long
And thanks again for the dialogue fix.
I love this!
It's hilarious. You should add more interviews if you have the time
Keep it up!
