Red Twig Dogwood Not Dropping Leaves In Fall

It is early Oct in northern Indiana and I have a red twig dogwood at my church that still has green stems, green leaves and is blooming. All the ones at my house (same variety) are almost bare and have red stems. It is 3 years old, any ideas?

It is still a little early in the year, but two thoughts come to mind.

They could be different cultivars, or the trees dropping early can have a disease. Unfortunately, your photo did not come through, so I cannot assess the situation.

Here is an article that will give you more information on the tree:
