Reaction ranges from extremely acid through strongly acid where unlimed. The Ap horizon has hue of 10YR, value of 3 through 5, and chroma of 2 or 3. Undisturbed pedons have an A horizon with hue of 10YR, value of 2 or 3, and chroma of 1 or 2. Texture is loam, sandy loam, or silt loam in the fine-earth fraction. Some pedons have E horizons with hue of 7.5YR or 10YR, value of 6 or 7, and chroma of 2 to 4.
Texture is loam, fine sandy loam, or sandy loam.
The B horizon has hue of 7.5YR or 10YR, value of 5 or 6, and chroma of 4 through 8. Texture is sandy loam, silt loam, silty clay loam, loam or clay loam in the fine-earth fraction. 12 to 27 percent and sand content is greater than 20 percent. Consistence is friable or firm.
