Default Are spruce trees acidic?

Do spruce needles make the soil acidic like pine needles do? I raked
under my spruce trees and have loads of needles and cones and I'm
wondering where I can put them.

I thought it was the mineral content that determined acidity.

I always thought that the ground around pine trees was more acidic so
I was wondering if spruce trees had the same affect.
