This nearly level, poorly drained soil is on broad smooth flats on the uplands. Areas are small in size and
irregular in shape. Most of the acreage is forested or is used for residential and industrial sites. The native
vegetation consists of loblolly pine, longleaf pine, pond pine, sweetgum, water oak, willow oak, poplar,
waxmyrtle, eastern baccharis, American holly, gallberry, and sweet pepperbush.
Typically, the surface layer is very dark gray fine sandy loam 7 inches thick. The subsoil, to a depth of 65
inches, is mottled light brownish gray fine sandy loam in the upper part. The middle part is mottled gray
fine sandy loam, and the lower part is mottled very pale brown fine sandy loam.
Included with this soil in mapping are small areas of Wrightsboro, Lynchburg, Seagate, and Stallings soils.
The organic-matter content of the surface layer is low. Permeability is moderately rapid, available water
capacity is medium, and shrink-swell potential is low. The reaction is strongly acid or very strongly acid
where this soil has not been limed. The seasonal high water table is at or near the surface.
A seasonal high water table and moderately rapid permeability are the main limitations in the use and
management of this soil. Most lawn grasses, shrubs, and trees are easily established and maintained.
Some trees, such as dogwood, may not be suited to this soil because of wetness. Capability subclasses
