Which variety?

Which variety or varieties are having the best fruit set so far this season excluding cherries?

I just got through checking my tomatoes to see how well they are setting fruit in this wonderful spring weather and was surprised by the variety that is way ahead of the others. So much so that I will have to do some heavy culling just to get medium size fruit from the large fruited Limbaugh's Legacy. In just the first two fruit clusters it looks like I will have around 25 set fruit with the first cluster having around 16 or so. That is way too many to get any decent size fruit from so I will have to cull them. The plants are not three feet tall yet.

The next heaviest fruit set are Brandywine Cowlick's and JD's Special C Tex. Usually the one that has the ridiculous amount of fruit early is Pruden's Purple but this year it looks more like a normal amount of fruit set on them.
