Default Why are these two small trees not doing so well right now in spring time?

Hello.

Here are two photographs:
1. http://i.imgur.com/v10OE56.jpg
2. http://i.imgur.com/n0w5Kno.jpg

Bad dirt? Not enough sun? Too much sun? Not enough water? Too moist?
Other plants and trees, near them, are doing fine though. They are in
Southern California near a house.

Thank you in advance.


What are they?
What is the soil like? (texture, depth, pH, content)
How moist is it? (scrape away the bark and stick your finger in)

The first looks about to die. Why are so many branches cut off? What
direction is the wall from #1? How many hours a day does the sun hit the
wall now?

The second doesn't look too bad but the photo is overexposed and I can't see
the colour of the leaves. What seems to be wrong with it?
