Would cupresparis lawsonia clippings be OK for a mulch?

I am thinking about using the feathery type clippings as a mulch in my acidic soil garden. I grow camellia,rhodedendrum,azalea,heather and magnolia soulangeana successfully

Would cupresparis lawsonia clippings be OK for a mulch?
Conifer clippings would be so perfect for all them acid loving plants (camellia, rhody, azalea, magnolia) in your garden. The conifer clippings make an acidic mulch, so your plants will love you for it.


Mulch away amigo!
Reply:It's a good question this.It would need to be quite small pieces,as the rain will not ever get to the soil,and l would'nt use it fresh,as it will continue to take nitrogen from the soil.So broken small and going a bit brown would work,but it will have a very small difference as to acidifying the soil
