I grew one last year in the greenhouse, It has reached
the roof and shows no sign of slowing down. If I chop
the top off it will it bush up happily and thrive?

If it doesn't, you haven't (in my opinion) lost much. I
grew this "Tree Tomato" some years ago, both in a (large)
glasshouse and outdoors (in Southern California). Highly
subject to red-spider mite and white-fly, as I recall, and
the fruit tasted like slightly-acidic wet cardboard.
