Wa_Wakulla sandWa-Wakulla sand, 1 to 8 percent slopes.
This somewhat excessively drained soil is on broad smooth flats on the uplands. Areas are small to large
in size and irregular in shape. Most of the acreage is forested. The rest is used for residential and industrial
sites. The native vegetation on the higher elevations consists of longleaf pine, loblolly pine, post oak,
bluejack oak, turkey oak, dwarf huckleberry, and myrtle. On the lower elevations, the vegetation
increases in density and includes hickory, holly, water oak, blackjack oak, and a few dogwood trees.
Typically, the surface layer is grayish brown sand 2 inches thick. The subsurface layer is light yellowish
brown sand 28 inches thick. The subsoil is strong brown loamy sand 18 inches thick. The underlying layer,
to a depth of 64 inches, is strong brown sand.
Included with this soil in mapping are a few small areas of Kureb, Baymeade, Kenansville, Lakeland, and
Rimini soils.
The organic-matter content of the surface layer is very low. Permeability is rapid, available water capacity
is very low, and shrink-swell potential is low. Reaction is strongly acid or medium acid throughout where
this soil has not been limed. The seasonal high water table is below a depth of 6 feet.
Droughtiness, slope, and rapid permeability are the main limitations in the use and management of this
soil. Supplemental irrigation and fertilizers are generally needed to establish and maintain lawn grasses,
shrubs, and trees. Capability subclass Ills; woodland group 3s.
