The Puu Pa series consists of well-drained stony very fine <br /> looms that formed in volcanic ash. The soils are gently sloping and most areas are <br /> extremely stony. They are on uplands at an elevation ranging from 1,000 to 2,500 feet <br /> and receive between 20 to 35 inches of rainfall annually. Their mean soil temperature <br /> is between 69 degrees and 71 degrees. The natural vegetation consists of <br /> bermudagrass, swollen fingergrass, Lantana, ilima and cactus.
