My camelia bush is fruiting, but it is not like any other type of camelia fruit that that I can find on the internet. It is about nine centimeters long and looks similar to a big yellow jelly baby with extra long arms and legs ( attached to the tree branch by its head). It is not soft and appears to have the texture of a carrot.

Can you take a photo & give us your location?

Here is what a camellia seed pod looks like. Your description sounds more like a lemon maybe.
