The Sheegene 2 variety (commercial name Timpson) was obtained by crossing the varieties Red Globe and Princess. The ripening period is early or early-to-mid, 10–14 days ahead of the Thompson Seedless variety. The vine growth vigor is assessed as high or medium-low depending on growing conditions.
Conical-shaped clusters have medium density and an average weight of about 767 g. Large, oval, light-green berries are characterized by a first class of seedlessness and firm, crunchy flesh with thin but durable skin. Sugar content levels are 18–20° Brix.
The variety has good transportability. Resistance to fungal diseases and frost is typical for the species Vitis vinifera and is considered low. For optimal development, the grape requires special training and pruning to 6–8 buds.
