Grapes "Tsimus" is a seedless table grape variety of very early ripening. A new hybrid form of grapes of private selection Pysanka O.M. The form is soft-seeded and can only be considered sultana conditionally. The bushes are vigorous, the flower type is bisexual. The clusters are conical in shape, branched, with medium looseness, very large, growing weighing 800-1000 grams or more. The berries are oval in shape, colored white-green in the shade and yellow in good light; an individual grape reaches a weight of 4-5 grams. With good care, the berries gain up to 10 grams of weight, but they also have soft seeds. The skin is thin and easily eaten. The taste has a pronounced citron nutmeg. In wet weather, cracking of the berries near the stalk is possible. The presence of rudiments and seeds in the berries depends on weather conditions during flowering, seedlessness class III-IV. Increased disease resistance; winter hardiness has not been studied. The vine ripens well, cuttings take root easily. The fruitfulness of the lower buds and the yield of the bushes are high. The Kishmish Tsimus variety is valuable primarily for its extremely early ripening period (late July in the southern regions) and high taste qualities. It may be possible to get rid of the rudiments in berries with the help of gibberellin, but so far the developments in this direction are minimal.
