uncountable.
"I have lots of fruit in the basket."
you cannot say I have "a fruit", but you can say: I have "3 apples, or 5 bananas".
fruit is general, uncountable.
Hope it helps.

fruit is uncountable in general, but it can be countable when we refer to types of fruit. eg they sell a lot of fruits, means they sell different kinds of fruit.
