<br /> 14-Winder fine sand . This soil is nearly level and poorly drained . It is on low hammocks and in poorly
<br /> defined drainageways . The mapped areas range from 10 to 35 acres , Slopes are smooth to concave and
<br /> range from 0 to 2 percent ,
<br /> Typically , the surface layer is very dark gray fine sand about 7 inches thick. The subsurface layer is grayish
<br /> brown fine sand to a depth of about 17 inches . The subsoil extends to a depth of 65 inches . The upper 6
<br /> inches of the subsoil is grayish brown sandy loam that has yellowish brown mottles and grayish brown loamy
<br /> sand intrusions , The next 11 inches is gray sandy loam that has yellowish brown and yellow mottles , the
<br /> next 14 inches is gray sandy loam that has yellowish brown and light olive brown mottles , and the lower 17
<br /> inches is gray sandy loam that has light olive brown mottles , The substratum to a depth of 80 inches or more
<br /> is greenish gray loamy sand and shell fragments .
<br /> Included with this soil in mapping are small areas of Chobee , Jupiter, Manatee , Pineda and Riviera soils .
<br /> Also included are small areas of soils that are similar to Winder soil that have a dark surface layer more than
<br /> 7 inches thick and have soils that have accumulations of calcium carbonate concretions I the subsurface
<br /> layer and in the upper part of the subsoil . The included soils make up about 15 percent of the map unit ,
<br /> In most years , under natural conditions , the water table is within a depth of 0 to 10 inches of the surface for
<br /> 2 to 4 months and between a depth of 10 to 40 inches for about 4 to 6 months or more , Only for
<br /> short
<br /> periods in dry seasons is the water table below a depth of 40 inches , The available water capacity is very
<br /> low in the surface and subsurface layers . it is moderate in the subsoil and low in the
<br /> substratum .
<br /> Permeability is slow in the subsoil and rapid in the surface ans subsurface layers . Natural fertility is low ,
<br /> Most of the acreage of this soil has been cleared and planted to citrus , The natural vegetation consists of
<br /> cabbage palm , laurel oak , and slash pine and an understory of waxmyrtle , blue maidencane , chalky
<br /> bluestem , sand cordgrass , sawgrass , sedges , and other water-tolerant grasses and weeds .
<br /> This Winder soil has severe limitations for cultivated crops . It has fair suitability for vegetable crops if a water
<br /> control system is installed to remove excess water rapidly and provide for subsurface irrigation , Soil
<br /> improving crops and crop residue should be used to protect the soil from erosion and maintain organic
<br /> matter. Seedbed preparation should include bedding of rows . Fertilizer should be applied according to the
<br /> need of the crop .
<br /> Citrus trees are well suited to this soil if a water control system is installed to help maintain the water table
<br /> at a depth of about 4 feet , Planting the trees on beds provides good surface drainage . A close-growing
<br /> cover crop should be maintained between tree rows to protect the soil from blowing . Regular applications
<br /> of fertilizer are needed .
<br /> The suitability of this soil is good for pasture and hay crops , Pangolagrass , inproved bahiagrass , and clover
<br /> grow well if properly managed . Management practices should include a water control system to remove
<br /> excess surface water after heavy rains , regular applications of fertilizers , and controlled grazing .
<br /> The potential productivity of this soil for pine trees is high . Slash pine is the best adapted specie to plant.
<br /> Water control measures are necessary to remove excess surface water, Equipment limitations and seedling
<br /> mortality are additional concerns in management .
<br /> The soil is poorly suited to desirable range plant production , The vegetative community consists of cabbage
<br /> palm , live oak , scattered sawpalmetto , grapevine , and wild coffee , Because of the dense canopy of palm
<br /> trees , the site is a preferred shading and resting area for cattle , As a result , this range site generally
<br /> is
<br /> severly grazed . Management practices should include deferred grazing , brush control , and proper stocking .
<br /> Winder soil is in the Cabbage Palm Hammocks range site .
<br /> This soil has severe limitations for building site development, sanitary facilities , and recreational uses , Water
<br /> control measures are needed to help overcome excessive wetness ,
<br /> This Winder soil is in capability subclass Illw .
