Crotons-REMOVED

There are several Crotons in the garden, talk about scraggy! leggy and the usual growth on the limbs.  Greg heavily pruned the Croton by the front door, mid August 2018 and I white oiled it.  New growth is vibrant and healthy.  Will watch for bugs.  Need to research care and also try to identify the variety.
This site looks promising:

The above croton was removed in the Study garden re-vamp, there is one Croton struggling down by pool fence and two that were cut right back to the ground re-emerging nicely by the front gate.
This wide leaved variety, leaves start off pale green and darken as they mature.

This strappy gold and green variety looks like it is struggling a bit.
