The soil floods two to five times during most years and remains flooded for periods of 7 to 14 days. The soil has a perched water table that fluctuates between 12 and 30 inches of the surface. Water remains within 20 inches of the surface for less than 2 weeks in the majority of pedons, but will remain for more than 2 weeks in the depressional phase of the series. Most areas are in native pasture. Grasses are mainly common bermudagrass and dallisgrass.
Overstory vegetation includes elm, cottonwood, black willow, willow oak, and water oak.
The series is of minor extent. This series has been on the Inactive List since 1966. The concept of the soil is one of a poorly to somewhat poorly drained soil that, throughout its historic extent, exhibits an aquic condition. Reactivation will not conflict with these original concepts. Since 1966, these soils have been included with the Gladewater series.
