Hi,
I bought a citrus from a stall with 12 pound citrus fruit in Amalfi, Italy.

The vendor insisted they are citrons (cedro). However, other vendors in the area insisted that the Cedro are the smaller (haha, 1-4 pound) warty, elongated pointy bright or dark yellow fruit while the type of fruit i bought (up to 12 pounds, pale yellow, stocky and usually of irregular shape) are a lemon - citron hybrid.

Who is right? In the area there is an incredible diversity of lemon-like citrus.

Very likely a citron-lemon hybrid.

The common lemon varieties today originated in Italy from hybridization between citron and sour orange.
