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.
Tomatoes require large pots to grow in and usually need the support of a tomato cage or other staking system in order to reach their full potential. Additional precautions, such as bug netting and shade cloth, can help a tomato plant survive even in the cruelest of conditions.
