Default Tomato question

On 4 Aug, 15:04, Roy Bailey wrote:
I have been growing a lot of tomatoes from seed this year - and very
successful it has been so far. As well as the ones deliberately sown, I
have well over a dozen strong plants which have appeared wherever I have
applied my home-made compost.

Obviously I have no idea what varieties they are, but at least one of
the plants is interesting because it appears not to be producing any
side shoots.

Does anyone know if there is a specific variety known for this, or have
I discovered a new one? I don't ever remember seeing a tomato plant
before that did not produce side shoots.

The volunteers rarely come to anything. I think this because they are
either from F1 hybrids or they are random crosses with other things.
I just pull them up these days with the weeds.
