I don't know if any of you caught that thread in GW, a few weeks ago, but there was a guy there who said that there was a new tomato on the block, that was the most massive producer he had ever seen- almost more fruit than leaves.
The tomato is called (Hanky Red) and is a determinate variety, and it appears is available only from Sandhill preservations in the USA at the moment,
After a bit of palm greasing ;D with a friend, I was able to secure a few seeds of this variety for growing out next season for comparison against my Cheethams potato leaf variety as far as production goes.
So Unfortunately I will not have seeds of this variety until next season from my own saved seeds, but if anyone wants to act on this info and give them a try before that (Sandhill preservation) is the place to get them from.
They also stock another Hanky variety called Hanky Pink but this is a totally different type of tomato and not the same.
