Wes and Brad's Black Heart have had heavy foliage for me, in comparison to, let's see, Kosovo, Monomakh's Hat, Anna Russian, Mrs. Houseworth, Berkshire Polish, German Red Strawberry, Shilling Giant, Tsar-Kolokol, Yasha Yugoslavian.
To prevent sunscald, I will occasionally pin up a piece of floating row cover (Remay or something of that sort) on the west-facing side of the tomato cage for shade. I use clothes pins to clip the fabric to the cage.
