====================
Hi Because you mentioned downspout it may be too much water. Or it could be a stray dog marking territory.
I would say you either have to raise the level of the soil by taking them out , puttting more soil in, then planting them
Back. I had to do something similar with some hollies and it took care of the problem.
Kind Regards Steve Jones,
