Item #: SCP-5428

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5428-A is to be held in a 5 meters by 5 meters by 2 meters concrete box suspended 5 meters in the air with electrified chain. Every day, the 5 meter space below the box is to be sealed off and incinerated. This, along with any other tests, are to be done remotely, and under no circumstances will anything be allowed to enter the containment cell of SCP-5428-A. If anyone attempts to enter SCP-5428's containment area, they are to be restrained, and tested for the presence of SCP-5428-B in their body. If confirmed, they, and all of their possessions are to be cremated for 12 hours.

Description: SCP-5428-Is a tree, resembling an average apple tree, with the exception that it’s bark is charred and black. When nothing is around the tree, it passively grows a variety of fruits, even if those fruits are not naturally grown on a tree. However, when a creature with enough intelligence to hold desires comes within about 5 meters of the tree, the fruits will change into things that the creature desires. These items do not have to be natural, as before containment, it was observed creating hats, money, jewels and toys. If the creature spends more time around the tree, the tree will create more and more appealing objects. Usually creatures give in to temptation after about 10 minutes. When the creature comes into contact with these objects, it is injected with SCP-5428-B. SCP-5428-B will remain dormant for about 48 hours, and then it will then navigate it’s way into the brain, forming into a seed and killing the person. SCP-5428-B will then develop into another instance of SCP-5428-A.

Addendum: SCP-5428 must be flawlessly contained, as before it was contained, it managed to completely exterminate a town with a population of about 7500 people in 7 and a half hours.
