Holly Bushes Turning Brown

Question

We have several holly bushes in our yard. Many are in the process of turning brown and dying. They have lived 7+ years in our densely shaded backyard. This is the first year they are turning brown. Any idea what may be going on?

Answer 1

There are a few things that can cause this. Holly scorch is the most common. This happens when the weather changes too quickly. The plant will recover from this on its own. Are you seeing any other symptoms? That will help us pinpoint it better.
