The first thing to do is check the foliage for signs of pests which you 
have probably already done. Also check to see if they are getting equally 
watered.  Sometimes the answer is as simple as adjusting your irrigation 
system.

Next we remove the plant and inspect it's roots.  Also check the hole we 
have found where we have accidently planted on a stone or other foreign 
material or on inspection discovered an animal burrow.

Then again not all plants are created equal-sometimes it is best to 
replace the plant and move on.
