Thats funny... The citrons I get in the Market in Canberra (about
300km away) are like grapefruit sized lemons with a very thick peel. 
Certainly not green and much larger than an avocado.  And if I'm
really lucky, I can score the chinese citron which looks like a hand
with 4-6 fingers hanging down which are even nicer.  Just shows how
much variety in produce you can get between cities...  However, I must
agree with Rowan, citron is much more likely to actually be citron.
