Holly Disease

I have several young holly plants in a hedge row that are about three years old, grown from whips. Nearly all of them have shown the following symptoms and appear dead:

The leaves have turned yellow/brown, the stem appears grey and mottled. They are grown in a clay soil, in a ridge and furrow field open to the elements.

Could the harsh winter have killed them off? They have survived the previous two winters OK.
