Pn_Pantego loamPn-Pantego loam.
This nearly level, very poorly drained soil is on broad, smooth flats and in slight depressions on the
uplands. Areas are irregular in shape and small to large in size. Most of the acreage is forested. The rest
is used for residential and industrial sites. The native vegetation is loblolly pine, pond pine, sweetgum,
tupelo-gum, sweetbay, water oak, ash, red maple, waxmyrtle, greenbrier, switchcane, and bracken.
Typically, the surface layer is black loam 16 inches thick. The subsoil, to a depth of 100 inches, is gray
sandy clay loam in the upper part and mottled gray clay loam in the lower part.
Included with this soil in mapping are small areas of Bayboro, Rains, and Woodington soils. Also included
are some small areas of soils that have a combined surface layer and subsoil less than 60 inches thick.
The organic-matter content of the surface layer is medium. Permeability is moderate, available water
capacity is medium, and shrink-swell potential is low. Reaction is strongly acid or very strongly acid
throughout where this soil has not been limed. The seasonal high water table is at or near the surface.
A seasonal high water table and moderate permeability, are the main limitations in the use and
management of this soil. Most lawn grasses and some varieties of shrubs and trees are easily established
and maintained. Some shrubs and trees, such as aucuba, camellia, and dogwood, may not be suited to
these soils because of wetness. Capability subclasses Vlw, where undrained, and IIIw, where drained;
