Two years on the cherry as it is a dense hardwood and was quite alive. That's two years cut, split, stacked with the top covered in the winter. Evergreens such as fir and other less dense hardwoods such as alder, willow, cottonwood, can season in one year.
I will agree with the moisture meter suggestion. Harbor Freight sells one for small money which I own. Firewood is "ready" when the middle of a freshly split piece reads less than 20% according to the literature of firewood documents. I find that 15% is far superior to 20% but that 20% will provide a good burn. Green firewood measures out above the 36% top limit of the meter.
