In this sense, fruit is usually singular. It is a collective noun; the part of a plant or tree that contains the seeds and is used as food (apples, bananas) = Do you eat much fruit? But you can say 'the fruits of the earth'

Hi Vincent,
You can say a lot of sentences that are correct grammar, but which English speakers simply never say.
I think this is probably true of all languages, including your native language. Do you agree?

Yes, I agree with you. But, how do I explain if someone ask me:
(a) The mango tree has a lot of fruit. (without "s" is correct, but normally fruits in the tree are countable)
(b) The mango tree has many fruits. (wrong, but how do I explain to others? It's true if you see many fruits are on the tree.)
