1. 表示“水果”时，通常用作总称或集体名词，不可数。如：
He just lived on fruit. 他只靠吃水果维持生命。
Would you like some more fruit? 你要不要再吃点水果?
若表示水果种类，则是可数的。如：
The mango is a tropical fruit. 芒果是种热带水果。
The tree bears a red hard fruit. 这种树结一种红色坚硬的果实。
但有时到底是表示总称还是种类，完全取决于具体的语境，有时两种情况都说得通。如：
The country exports tropical fruit(s). 该国出口热带水果。
2. 表示“几种（多种、各种）水果”时，可直接说some (many, various) fruits，也可用some (many, various) kinds of fruit（后者通常用不用复数）。如：
