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.
When green or ripening tomatoes get too much direct sun, especially during very hot weather. Sunscald is irreversible once itâs impacted a tomato, but its progression can be slowed. You can leave exposed fruit on the vine and cover it with lightweight screen, shade cloth, or straw to protect if from further damage.
