Default Leylandii Shreddings

I am taking a specimen Leylandii down and most of it is going through the
shredder.

Question. Will it harm the compost to mix large quantities in? I so what
proportion of mix would anyone recommend?

Compost is always best if mixed up.
The worst thing i ever had for not rotting was a large amount of pond
weed.
But leylandii rots down OK if shredded. The best stuff to mix with it
is grass cuttings if you have any.
But you may get chance of autumn leaves, also good. (
