Mine are way more mature than yours, but I noticed after our hard freezes this winter that all of them looked yellow-ish like that, but the leaves looked healthy. They're almost fully transitioned back to green now though.

But I'd say if the leaves look healthy on your yellow ones, could be a possibility?

Were those 3 green ones yellow prior to the irrigation being added? Or were green all along?

I do have 2 that look dead, just sticks branches and very few leaves(out of sight on other side of sidewalk), and will replaced, seems like they never looked strong from the start.
The drainage was put in with the plants( 3 green ones) because that section had no way to drain except over sidewalk and i wanted to give water a way to flow under sidewalk. That cant be coincidence that where the French drain with gravel is located is the same spot the only "healthy plants are". Just didn't know these plants required good drainage.
