Walworth County South Dakota
Expert Response
The appearance suggests that they may have been damaged by pesticide (herbicide) residue, but I cannot tell for certain. Other suggestions: Have you fertilized them? Have you notice any insects? Any near construction? Adequate water? Are they mulched? This is the best I can do with the information you sent. You may reply with more information.
