    I cut down a lime tree earlier in the year.

    A neighbour says it will take 2 years to dry out for firewood. Is this true ?

    Well it will not be ready this season so you should think in terms of next season. I have some that was cut late spring and is still lying in the garden but is going under cover as soon as I get round to it, it will then finish off indoors in batches, I am anticipating using it next winter.

    as above depending on how the logs have been split and set up for air drying under cover

    If it's split then it will season somewhat quicker. Best split it when it's freshly cut, gets more difficult after that.
