Better Boy, Whopper, and Cherokee Carbon produce heavily. In smaller tomatoes, Juliet and Fourth of July. In cherries, Super Sweet 100 and Super Snow White. In heirlooms, I've gotten decent production from Kellogg's Breakfast and Stump of the World. My experience is in Virginia, though; no idea about production further north.

I used to think I knew which ones were more productive but over time in our very changeable climate I find that none of them are productive every season. I have found that some of the most dependable are Cowlick's Brandywine, Arkansas Traveler, 1884, ISPL, Spudakee, JD's Special C Tex, Granny Cantrell, Pruden's Purple, Sudduth's, Limbaugh's Legacy and German Johnson.
If you have room plant a good variety and over the years you will find which ones do better and which don't in your particular garden and climate. Good luck. Bill |

Usually my go to is big beef just in case my heirlooms fail. I usually grow big rainbow Cherokee and a selection of paste tomatoes. I’d like to know who had great success with other tomatoes hybrid and heirlooms. I do live in Toronto
