Tomato Triffids!

My tomato plants are taking over my greenhouse! I have taken off all the side shoots and the growing tips but they are bushing out all over. Should I take off some of the foliage too? Will this be beneficial or detrimental to the crop? They all have some green fruits but not many, well, not that I can see through all the leaves... any advice appreciated Smile.

Are you sure they aren't bush varieties?

Take out a few leaves to make sure the air can pass through otherwise you are at risk of blight.

No, they are cordon varieties but they are huge. I did notice some tomato plants on the 'Beechgrove Garden' the other night that seemed to have most of their foliage removed so wondered if this is the thing to do. I think I will check their website.
