Texture is similar to the A or Ap horizon. Consistence is friable to loose. Reaction ranges from extremely acid to strongly acid. Some pedons have a Bh horizon that has hue of 2.5YR to 10YR, value of 2 or 3, and chroma of 1 to 3. Texture of the fine earth fraction ranges from loamy fine sand to sand.
Structure is often weak granular or subangular blocky, but some pedons have single grain.
