Answer:

Dropping its leaves

Step-by-step explanation:

The dogweood tree is a species of plant belonging to the genus Cornus, known for its cherry-like fruit. It is native to southern Europe, Mediterranean and Southwest Asia.

Most dogwood species have opposite leaves and some, such as C. alternifolia and C. controversa, have alternate leaves. Usually these leaves fall during the transition from summer to fall. The fruit of all species is a drupe with one or two seeds, often brilliantly colored and sometimes edible. The flowers have four parts.
