Hollies normally shed leaves in the spring as a way to remove old leaves, so they may be fine. The ties should be removed after one year. Make sure none of those have been absorbed into the bark. Is it getting adequate water? Newly planted trees and shrubs need to be watered regularly the first year to establish a good root system. This holly is resistant to most pests and disease, however, check for scale.
