Pros:

• Amicably pretentious talking tree.
• Musas are the oreos to this guy's hydrox cookies. This is amusing.
• Faltering attempts to create a new hit fruit.

Cons:

• Why is it a spruce tree? Spruce trees don't produce fruit. This really bothers me for some reason.
• While charming, the first interview goes on just a smidgeon too long and has some momentary lapses in voice.
• Second interview feels forced, and the punchline falls flat.
• Doesn't really end on a strong chord, partly because of the previous issue.

Suggestions:

• Maybe dial back the tree's wordiness a notch, dial up the personality a similar notch, and let the sentences (and thus your punchlines) flow a little more cleanly. For example:

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.

could instead be:

And they didn’t even get it right! They could have at least made those those pale, cheap imitations of hanabs they called bananas as good as the original. But no, that would have demanded hard work. They don’t even put beta-carotene in their fruits! But those weeds flood the market with their abominations, and my dear hanabs get forgotten. I hope fungus infects every last one of those Musas and that they rot in -[Pauses] Oh, my apologies… seems I got carried away again…

• Potential bonus rants:
  • banana trees aren't actually trees- they're giant herbs.
  • most of a banana's flavor comes from Isoamyl Acetate. This is in contrast most to other fruits, which generally have more complex flavor profiles. It's also the honey bee's "Sting this to death" pheremone.
• Maybe replace the second interview with a log of novel fruits produced, with it getting increasingly obvious that it's scraping the bottom of the idea-barrel. Say, maybe it slowly progresses from "similar to a kiwi" to "triangular" to "overwhelmingly sour" to "mildly bioluminescent" to "Contained trading cards"…
