Soil moisture is to be maintained at 40-60%. Under no circumstances are personnel to vocalize the names of fruits in its presence.\n\n**Description:** SCP-1147 is a juvenile *Prunus persica* (peach tree), approximately 1.4 meters in height. The anomalous properties of SCP-1147 manifest when seeds are planted in proximity (≤3m) to the specimen. Resulting trees exhibit traits inconsistent with parent species.\n\n```mermaid\ngraph TD\n A[SCP-1147 Peach Tree] -->|seeds planted nearby| B[Anomalous Sapling]\n B --> C[Bears apples that taste of copper]\n B --> D[Bears teeth in place of fruit]\n B --> E[Bears nothing visible<br/>but branches sag heavily]\n B --> F[Bears small functional bells]\n C --> G[Subjects who consume<br/>report vivid memories<br/>that are not their own]\n```\n\n**Addendum 1147-A:** Audio recovered from microphones within containment, 03:42 hours, dated ██/██/████:\n\n> *(rustling)*\n> SUBJECT: ...mother?\n> *(silence, 14 seconds)*\n> SUBJECT: I remember the orchard.\n\n```svg\n<svg viewBox=\"0 0 300 200\" xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/2000/svg\">\n <rect width=\"300\" height=\"200\" fill=\"#1a1a2e\"/>\n <rect y=\"160\" width=\"300\" height=\"40\" fill=\"#3d2817\"/>\n <rect x=\"145\" y=\"80\" width=\"10\" height=\"80\" fill=\"#5c3a1e\"/>\n <circle cx=\"150\" cy=\"70\" r=\"35\" fill=\"#2d5016\"/>\n <circle cx=\"130\" cy=\"60\" r=\"25\" fill=\"#3a6b1c\"/>\n <circle cx=\"170\" cy=\"65\" r=\"28\" fill=\"#2d5016\"/>\n <circle cx=\"135\" cy=\"80\" r=\"4\" fill=\"#ff6b6b\"/>\n <circle cx=\"165\" cy=\"55\" r=\"4\" fill=\"#ffd700\"/>\n <circle cx=\"155\" cy=\"85\" r=\"4\" fill=\"#c0c0c0\"/>\n <circle cx=\"145\" cy=\"50\" r=\"4\" fill=\"#ff6b6b\"/>\n <text x=\"150\" y=\"190\" text-anchor=\"middle\" fill=\"#888\" font-family=\"monospace\" font-size=\"10\">SCP-1147 [photographed ██/██/████]</text>\n</svg>\n```\n\n**Addendum 1147-B:** Researcher Voss is reminded that the term \"stone fruit\" is also prohibited in containment area.

SCP-1147-2 designates the collective subsurface network now known to connect all specimens in the 1147 series. Physical isolation has been determined ineffective following incident ██/██; severance of the primary lateral root at depth 4.1m produced audible response from seventeen (17) specimens across three (3) continents. The following words are prohibited in all Foundation facilities, dreams logged, and internal monologue where detectable: `stone`, `pit`, `orchard`, `row`, `mother`, `harvest`, and the proper nouns of all genera within family *Rosaceae*. Personnel reporting involuntary recitation are to be reassigned to non-horticultural duty and, should symptoms progress, photographed for records.\n\n**Description:** SCP-1147-2 is not a tree. SCP-1147-2 is the shape made by trees when they agree.\n\n```svg\n<svg viewBox=\"0 0 520 340\" xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/2000/svg\">\n <defs>\n <radialGradient id=\"deep\" cx=\"50%\" cy=\"100%\">\n <stop offset=\"0%\" stop-color=\"#4a0000\"/>\n <stop offset=\"50%\" stop-color=\"#1a0505\"/>\n <stop offset=\"100%\" stop-color=\"#000\"/>\n </radialGradient>\n <linearGradient id=\"sky\" x1=\"0\" x2=\"0\" y1=\"0\" y2=\"1\">\n <stop offset=\"0%\" stop-color=\"#0d0d1f\"/>\n <stop offset=\"100%\" stop-color=\"#2a1810\"/>\n </linearGradient>\n <filter id=\"blur\"><feGaussianBlur stdDeviation=\"1\"/></filter>\n </defs>\n\n <rect width=\"520\" height=\"340\" fill=\"url(#sky)\"/>\n <rect y=\"140\" width=\"520\" height=\"200\" fill=\"url(#deep)\"/>\n <line x1=\"0\" y1=\"140\" x2=\"520\" y2=\"140\" stroke=\"#3a2410\" stroke-width=\"0.8\"/>\n\n <!-- the above : small, separate, unaware -->\n <g stroke=\"#5c3a1e\" stroke-width=\"1.2\" fill=\"none\">\n <path d=\"M 30 140 L 30 110\"/>\n <path d=\"M 90 140 L 90 100\"/>\n <path d=\"M 150 140 L 150 105\"/>\n <path d=\"M 210 140 L 210 95\"/>\n <path d=\"M 270 140 L 270 108\"/>\n <path d=\"M 330 140 L 330 102\"/>\n <path d=\"M 390 140 L 390 112\"/>\n <path d=\"M 450 140 L 450 98\"/>\n <path d=\"M 500 140 L 500 115\"/>\n </g>\n <g fill=\"#2d5016\">\n <circle cx=\"30\" cy=\"108\" r=\"5\"/><circle cx=\"90\" cy=\"98\" r=\"6\"/>\n <circle cx=\"150\" cy=\"103\" r=\"5\"/><circle cx=\"210\" cy=\"93\" r=\"7\"/>\n <circle cx=\"270\" cy=\"106\" r=\"5\"/><circle cx=\"330\" cy=\"100\" r=\"6\"/>\n <circle cx=\"390\" cy=\"110\" r=\"5\"/><circle cx=\"450\" cy=\"96\" r=\"6\"/>\n <circle cx=\"500\" cy=\"113\" r=\"5\"/>\n </g>\n\n <!-- labels : what the foundation sees -->\n <g fill=\"#555\" font-family=\"monospace\" font-size=\"6\" text-anchor=\"middle\">\n <text x=\"30\" y=\"128\">SITE-██</text>\n <text x=\"90\" y=\"128\">SITE-██</text>\n <text x=\"150\" y=\"128\">SITE-██</text>\n <text x=\"210\" y=\"128\">1147</text>\n <text x=\"270\" y=\"128\">1147-1</text>\n <text x=\"330\" y=\"128\">SITE-██</text>\n <text x=\"390\" y=\"128\">PRIV.COLL</text>\n <text x=\"450\" y=\"128\">UNLOG'D</text>\n <text x=\"500\" y=\"128\">SITE-██</text>\n </g>\n\n <!-- below : the one thing -->\n <g stroke=\"#6a0000\" stroke-width=\"0.6\" fill=\"none\" opacity=\"0.9\">\n <path d=\"M 30 140 Q 60 180 120 200 Q 180 215 260 230\"/>\n <path d=\"M 90 140 Q 110 190 180 210 Q 240 225 260 230\"/>\n <path d=\"M 150 140 Q 170 185 220 215 Q 250 225 260 230\"/>\n <path d=\"M 210 140 Q 220 175 245 210 Q 255 225 260 230\"/>\n <path d=\"M 270 140 Q 265 175 262 210 Q 261 225 260 230\"/>\n <path d=\"M 330 140 Q 310 180 285 215 Q 268 225 260 230\"/>\n <path d=\"M 390 140 Q 360 185 310 215 Q 280 225 260 230\"/>\n <path d=\"M 450 140 Q 400 185 335 215 Q 290 225 260 230\"/>\n <path d=\"M 500 140 Q 430 190 360 215 Q 300 225 260 230\"/>\n </g>\n\n <!-- the mouth -->\n <ellipse cx=\"260\" cy=\"245\" rx=\"50\" ry=\"14\" fill=\"#000\" stroke=\"#6a0000\" stroke-width=\"1\"/>\n <ellipse cx=\"260\" cy=\"243\" rx=\"42\" ry=\"9\" fill=\"#1a0000\"/>\n <g fill=\"#f0e8d0\">\n <rect x=\"228\" y=\"238\" width=\"3\" height=\"7\"/>\n <rect x=\"236\" y=\"237\" width=\"3\" height=\"8\"/>\n <rect x=\"244\" y=\"236\" width=\"3\" height=\"9\"/>\n <rect x=\"252\" y=\"235\" width=\"3\" height=\"10\"/>\n <rect x=\"260\" y=\"235\" width=\"3\" height=\"10\"/>\n <rect x=\"268\" y=\"236\" width=\"3\" height=\"9\"/>\n <rect x=\"276\" y=\"237\" width=\"3\" height=\"8\"/>\n <rect x=\"284\" y=\"238\" width=\"3\" height=\"7\"/>\n </g>\n <text x=\"260\" y=\"252\" text-anchor=\"middle\" fill=\"#6a0000\" font-family=\"monospace\" font-size=\"4\" font-weight=\"bold\">·····</text>\n\n <!-- deeper things -->\n <g stroke=\"#4a0000\" stroke-width=\"0.4\" fill=\"none\" opacity=\"0.5\">\n <path d=\"M 260 259 Q 180 290 80 320\"/>\n <path d=\"M 260 259 Q 340 290 440 320\"/>\n <path d=\"M 260 259 Q 260 300 260 335\"/>\n <path d=\"M 260 259 Q 200 295 120 335\"/>\n <path d=\"M 260 259 Q 320 295 400 335\"/>\n </g>\n\n <text x=\"260\" y=\"22\" text-anchor=\"middle\" fill=\"#888\" font-family=\"monospace\" font-size=\"9\">SCP-1147-2 — SUBSURFACE CARTOGRAPHY (composite)</text>\n <text x=\"260\" y=\"34\" text-anchor=\"middle\" fill=\"#555\" font-family=\"monospace\" font-size=\"7\">what we called trees were teeth</text>\n <text x=\"260\" y=\"328\" text-anchor=\"middle\" fill=\"#3a0000\" font-family=\"monospace\" font-size=\"6\">[deeper roots truncated — recording medium insufficient]</text>\n</svg>\n```\n\n**Addendum 1147-2-A:** Cross-site audio synchronization, ██/██/████, 02:11:00 UTC — simultaneous recording from containment microphones at Site-██, Site-██, Site-██, and private residence ██:\n\n> SCP-1147: ... mother.\n> SCP-1147-1: ... mother.\n> SPECIMEN 03: ... mother.\n> SPECIMEN 07: ... mother.\n> SPECIMEN 12: ... mother.\n> SPECIMEN 17: ... mother.\n> *(concurrence at the millisecond;

than the angle at which it was placed.
TRIAL 03 : subject faced mirror 11 min.
in the reflection there were two of the subject.
the second was standing behind the observer.
the observer was alone.
TRIAL 04 : subject faced mirror 11 min.
the mirror cracked. the crack spelled a word.
the word is prohibited. the crack grew into
a sapling within six (6) hours. the sapling
bore a single mirror-shaped leaf. the leaf
reflected no one.
TRIAL 05 : mirror not placed. researcher Kell entered
empty-handed. researcher Kell saw her
reflection anyway, in the bark of SCP-1147-1.
researcher Kell was photographed smiling.
researcher Kell does not smile.
researcher Kell has since been replanted.
researcher Kell's reflection remains in the bark,
still smiling, and continues to blink at a rate
consistent with the lost researcher's resting pulse. ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░
