Cullen soil series
Soils of the Cullen series are very deep and well drained with moderate permeability. They formed in residuum from mixed mafic and felsic crystalline rocks. These soils are on upland ridgetops and side slopes of the Piedmont Plateau. Slopes range from 0 to 35 percent. The mean annual temperature is above 59 degrees F, and mean annual precipitation is about 44 inches.
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Very-fine, kaolinitic, thermic Typic Hapludults
Solum thickness ranges from 40 to 60 inches or more. Depth to bedrock is more than 60 inches. Content of rock fragments is 0 to 35 percent, by volume, in the A, Ap, and BA horizons, and 0 to 15 percent, by volume, in the Bt and BC, and 0 to 50 percent, by volume, in the C horizons. They commonly are from crystalline rocks. The soil is strongly acid to slightly acid except where limed.
USE AND VEGETATION: Most of these soils are under cultivation and in pasture with the remainder in forest. Crops are small grain, corn, soybeans, cotton, hay, pasture plants and some fruit crops. Native vegetation is mixed hardwoods and pine.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: Piedmont areas of Virginia and North Carolina, and possibly South Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama. The series is of large extent.
