'Creole Queen' is distinguished by its narrow habit, typically growing to a height of 15 m, with a crown width of 4.5 m. The tree is reputedly very heat tolerant.
No specific information available, but the species as a whole is highly susceptible to Dutch Elm Disease and Elm Yellows; it is also moderately preferred for feeding and reproduction by the adult Elm Leaf Beetle Xanthogaleruca luteola,[3] and highly preferred for feeding by the Japanese Beetle Popillia japonica [4][5] in the United States. U. americana is also the most susceptible of all the elms to verticillium wilt.[6]
