Damage on Young Plant. A large tomato plant can survive damage better than a young plant, but even a small plant can recover from a broken upper stalk. If the stalk, or stem, is damaged under the lowest branch, however, the plant will not survive.
Tomato plants have a tendency to become large and spindly, which can cause their stems to sprawl over the ground. Plants that touch the ground are more susceptible to pests, mold and disease and often don't get enough sunlight. You can train tomato vines to a trellis, which keeps your plants tidy and upright.tep 1. Buy or make a trellis with materials that last a long time and a simple design. Choose from wire tomato cages, wooden or bamboo stakes that form a teepee shape, or stakes and twine for a woven trellis.
