Watch out. If that fruit came from low down on the tree, it might be a sign that you've got rootstock suckers.
Lemon trees are usually grafted onto some other species of citrus that has better disease resistance. Typically, the fruit of this rootstock species is weird and inedible, and since the rootstock is hardier than the lemon graft, it can sometimes take over the whole tree.
If there's a branch coming from near the base of the tree (especially if you can see that it's coming from below a visible scar in the trunk where the graft occurred), it should be pruned away.
