SCP-XXXX-01

Special Cointainment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is made to look like a small commercial orchard from the outside. The orchard area is to be patrolled by armed personnel at all times, in case of intruders they are to be escorted out and any instances of SCP-XXXX-02, or any seeds of SCP-XXXX-01 are to be confiscated. If any person claming to be from "Honeybuns Apple Family" appears they are to primarily be contained, if not possible, terminated.

Description: SCP-XXXX is an orchard located near █████, Washington, United States. SCP-XXXX covers an area of 810,000 (200 acres), containing aproximately 15,000 instances of SCP-XXXX-01.

SCP-XXXX-01 is similar in all aspects to an apple tree of the Malus pumila species (commonly known as fuji apples), each instance of SCP-XXXX-01 produces an average of 520 instances of SCP-XXXX-02 every three months. SCP-XXXX-02 is not discernible in any way from normal Malus pumila apples, after testing it was determined that eating SCP-XXXX-02 implements a psychic block on anyone who eats it that makes the eater lose all olfactory and gustative senses, while every three months giving the eater a want to eat another SCP-XXXX-02.

SCP-XXXX was brought to foundation attention after the depression rates at █████ were found to be extremely high. After the investigation by foundation field agents SCP-XXXX was found, originaly owned by a corporation called "Honeybuns Apple Family", background research on the corporation revealed nothing, although interviews with neighboors mentioned that they never met anyone living at SCP-XXXX, and until asked by the agents, the interviewees had thought about SCP-XXXX, after further questioning they revealed that every season they'd see trucks leaving it.

When foundation personnel went to investigate SCP-XXXX directly they found the house empty and no workers at the location, ever since not a single individual claiming to work for "Honeybuns Apple Family" has appeared.

Experiment SCP-XXXX-C:

D-293324 (female, 24) was fed a single slice of SCP-XXXX-02, she was then questioned every month for six months, reportedly she didn't feel any difference, which demonstrates its effect is somehow masked, although she started eating less, losing 20 pounds, and reported enjoying life less than usual. Every three months D-293324 would ask for another slice of SCP-XXXX-02 which she was denied, reportadly screaming expletives at the guards and ask for it for another month.

After running a psychological test it was detirmined that D-293324 had symptoms of depression, the results were standardized for D-Class personnel normal psychological tests.

Dr ███'s notes:

I theorize the sense blocking side effects weren't intentional, probably the wanted desire was just the seasonal cravings, just to sell more apples, so they were probably not that experienced at parabiology. Also when we are not shortstaffed on investigators we should put forward a motion to investigate how we didn't find anyone inside the house and where they disappeared to after foundation occupation.
