Reciting a blessing over a food that was already covered by another blessing

Hello, Rabbi. A person recited the blessing “Borei Pri Ha'etz” at home over an apple, and afterward wanted to eat a date and mistakenly recited the blessing over it again. He knows that one blessing covers all the fruits before him, but generally he does not have explicit intention at the time of the blessing to cover everything. Is the second blessing considered a blessing in vain?

Hello and blessings 

This is a blessing in vain. 

Because even without explicit intention, everything was covered by his blessing.
