What tree does the Etrog grow on?

An etrog tree, just like lemons grow on lemon trees and oranges grow on orange trees. Etrogs are a very primitive relative of the lemon, and they are also considered a variety of citron, which just means lemon in some language but means thick skinned varieties with lots of seeds and hardly any juice in English. So, you can say that Etrogs grow on Citron trees. In any case, it's a variety of citrus fruit and without fruit, it's hard to tell the difference between etrog, lemon and lime trees.
