Unless limed, the reaction is very strongly acid or strongly acid near the surface, strongly acid to slightly acid in the B horizons, and slightly acid to slightly alkaline in the C horizons. Some pedons have O horizons up to 2 inches thick. A horizons have hues of 10YR to 2.5Y, values of 2 to 4 and chroma of 1 to 3. Texture is sandy loam, silt loam or loam, and structure is fine to medium granular. Some pedons have BA or BE horizons with hues of 7.5YR to 2.5Y, values of 3 to 6 and chroma of 1 to 3.
Texture is sandy loam, silt loam or loam, and structure is fine to medium subangular blocky.
Bt horizons have hues of 7.5YR to 2.5Y, or neutral, values of 3 to 6 and chroma of 0 to 6. Texture is sandy clay loam, silty clay loam, clay loam, sandy loam or heavy loam. It averages more than 17 percent clay. Structure is medium to coarse subangular blocky. BC horizons have hues of 7.5YR to 2.5Y, values of 3 to 6, and chroma of 1 to 6.
