Local Conditions
The soil and climate of New Braunfels.
New Braunfels is lower elevation than Bulverde. Soil is a mix of Comal-Guadalupe river alluvium — gravelly in some places, heavy clay in others, deeper than Hill Country caliche almost everywhere. Drainage is easier here than on the Plateau, but flash flooding from the Comal and Guadalupe is a real planning factor.
Warmer year-round than Bulverde. Comal Springs feeds local humidity and supports a different plant palette than the dryer Hill Country uplands.
