contents A polynomial is said to be unimodal if its coefficients are non-decreasing and then non-increasing. The domination polynomial of a graph $G$ is the generating function of the number of dominating sets of each cardinality in $G$. In \cite{IntroDomPoly2014} Alikhani and Peng conjectured that all domination polynomials are unimodal. In this paper we show that not all trees have log-concave domination polynomial. We also give non-increasing and non-decreasing segments of coefficents in trees. This allows us to show the domination polynomial trees with $Γ(T)-γ(T)<3$ are unimodal.
