I recently inherited an overgrown & neglected succulent / cactus garden with my new house. I am a former apt dweller and am new to this whole gardening thing (but loving it so far), so any help and/or advice with identification, propagation, care, etc would be awesome :) Thanks!

Dodonea viscosa. Common name is green hop bush. The maroon version is much more common around here (Dodonea viscosa 'Purpurea'. If you Google it you'll find lots of info. Good luck!

Unfortunately all 12 of these have scale and ants real bad.

The ants are a by-product of the scales. Are these short enough they can be reached by a good spraying with perhaps a summer weight hort oil?
