Well, it takes a lot more information than large fruit and large tree. For a start, where in the world do you live? There are a lot of kinds of lemons, including true lemons and other citrus that are called lemons. Only a few are grown commercially, but those are not necessarily the same that you will find in a home garden. To be sure, you will have to consult a local expert from the local agricultural college or association. To learn more about lemon types, try reading the following sources. There are a lot of other citrus trees, many of which are hybrids and many times one type is grafted onto another, so the whole story of citrus may be of interest.

"A number of varieties exist, most of which are selections from either Eureka or Lisbon. For the most part, there is very little difference among the fruit of the different varieties."
