I have a row of Thujas that I did not plant in my front lawn. We get plenty of rain here and I put some tree feed stakes in back in October. What's going on? They are turning brown. Photos attached. Thanks guys! One of the trees turned fully brown about a month or two ago. I'm worried the others are following suit.

No easy fix, solutions are obvious. Wrong plant wrong location is all too common.
Install drainage to lower water table.
Remove Arbs & plant trees that thrive in wet soils, (cypress)
Replant on raised beds

You can check for mites... shake a branch over a piece of white paper and see what falls off.
Looks like they're planted in a swamp.
