I have some crotons in my back yard I planted about 4 years ago. The nursery called them sloppy painter crotons; from the description above, I think they might be Eleanore Roosevelt. They have a thin green leaf and uneven yellow spots like paint splotches. I recently noticed some of the tops have a bumpy dark area (sort of moldy looking). Could anyone tell me what that might be and how should I treat it? I love these in my garden and would like them to last. My first thought is to treat them with Neem Oil
