The tree has upright, spreading branches bearing dark-green leaves.[1] 'Drake' is also distinguished by having a bark that begins exfoliating at a relatively young age .
The species and its cultivars are highly resistant, but not immune, to Dutch elm disease, and unaffected by the Elm Leaf Beetle Xanthogaleruca luteola.[2]
'Drake' became the most popular form of U. parvifolia planted in the southern and western states of the United States.[3] One specimen is known to have been introduced to Europe.
