Ikhowe elihle kakhulu langaphandle elivame ukumila ezimpandeni zezihlahla ezivuthulukayo.
Umzimba wesithelo wakhiwe ngamakepisi amaningi, agcinwa ngezansi esisekelweni esisodwa esivamile.
Amakati i-meripilus incane kakhulu, kungase kube nezikali ezincane ebusweni. Ukuthinta - i-velvety kancane. Ububanzi bemibala - kusuka kokubomvu kuya kokunsundu nokunsundu. Kukhona futhi imifantu concentric, notches. Emaphethelweni, isigqoko sinesimo esinamagagasi, kuyilapho sigobile kancane.
Imilenze kanjalo, cha, amakepisi abanjwe esisekelweni esingenalutho.
Umtfumbu amakhowe amhlophe, anokunambitheka okumnandi kancane. Lapho iphukile emoyeni, ithola ngokushesha umbala obomvu, bese iba mnyama.
Okuhlukile ukuthi izigqoko zifana namapuleti angama-semicircular, abekwe ngokuqinile komunye nomunye. Ngokuvamile, isisindo somzimba othela izithelo emifanekisweni emikhulu ye-meripilus enkulu singafinyelela ku-25-30 kg.
Impikiswano mhlophe.
Amakhowe ayingxenye yezinhlobo ezidliwayo, kodwa ama-meripilus amancane kuphela anconyelwa ukudla, njengoba anenyama ethambile nethambile.
Ikhula kusukela ngoJuni kuya ekwindla ngasekupheleni. Izindawo ezivamile zokukhula yizimpande zezihlahla eziphukayo (ikakhulukazi i-beech ne-oki).
