Mexico Midget (MX Midget)

Mexico (Mexican) Midget is a beloved currant-type tomato known for torrents of tiny, intensely flavored red fruits. Indeterminate vines are highly productive all season with proper support, producing long trusses that ripen in waves. Despite their size, the fruits carry bold, sweet-tart flavor that performs beautifully in salads and snack bowls. Provide tall trellising, full sun, and even moisture to reduce cracking and maximize set during hot spells. This cultivar famously won Seed Savers Exchange’s Tomato Tasting in 2014 and remains a favorite among home gardeners. Fruits shine in both fresh salads and slow‑simmered sauces where their natural balance comes forward. Plants respond well to consistent moisture and mulching, which helps reduce blossom‑end stress and keeps fruit quality high. Give sturdy support and prune lightly to maintain airflow and make harvest easier as clusters build.
