Hello.
Here are two photographs:
1. http://i.imgur.com/v10OE56.jpg
2. http://i.imgur.com/n0w5Kno.jpg
Bad dirt? Not enough sun? Too much sun? Not enough water? Too moist?
Other plants and trees, near them, are doing fine though. They are in
Southern California near a house.
Thank you in advance. :)

It had been hot and dry lately (yesterday was almost 100F degrees!), and
their leaves turned brown and fell. So, it does look like it is water
related. :(
