Which of the following is NOT suitable for topiary purpose?
Answer: D
Casuarina equisetifolia is not suitable for topiary: it is a tall tree with a loose, drooping habit that cannot be clipped into a dense shape. Duranta plumieri, Murraya exotica and Clerodendrum inerme are dense, small-leaved shrubs that take regular clipping.
That is why the question's NOT option is Casuarina.
Topiary is the clipping of plants into shapes and needs dense, small-leaved, slow-growing and tolerant species. Casuarina is an open, fast-growing tree with fine drooping branchlets, which clip poorly.
