Certified ExpertA.This is a difficult one. There are a few things that I could think of, though.
There is a chance that the one next to it has a bigger root system, and it is out competing this one.
There could be a chance that the shrub is in slightly different soil conditions. Maybe it could be at a lower level and getting too much moisture.
One last thing could be an infection that just so happens to spare one and attack another due to slight genetic variation.
