Default Question: Commercial Mulches

I want the mulch that takes longest to break down. Available a
hardwood, shrubbery, pine, cypress, and cedar.

Which breaks down the slowest?

Or is the shape more important: shredded vs. nuggets? Thanks


Hardwood nuggets the size of children's building blocks will take
decades to break down.
