Density. It depends how dense the fruit is and how much water there is. Suppose you had a 1" by 2" aquarium full of water, and you dropped an apple in it. The apple would float, because it would be less dense then the water.

Hmmm. Canned/Tinned fruit will most certainly sink. Most fruits straight off from the tree will float. However, if the fruits are not ripe, they might sink as they are very dense.
