Confused by variable scope - destructor called unexpectedly

I have 3 classes, Fruit, Apple and Orange, with Fruit being the parent of both. I have a static method where I do the following:

int32_t Fruit::frutificate(const Settings& settings) {
  Fruit listener;
  if (settings.has_domain_socket()) {
    listener = Apple(settings);
  } else {
    listener = Orange(settings);
  }
  return uv_run(listener.loop, UV_RUN_DEFAULT);
}

What confuses me is that the destructor of Apple, which runs clean up code Fruit doesn't have, is called within the condition. Apple is a child of Fruit and Fruit is declared outside the condition so shouldn't the scope last until the return?
