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.
About two weeks before planting tomatoes, the soil should be tilled up to 12 inches down and compost or fertilizer should be added. Seedlings should be planted after the last frost, with the root ball completely covered and the lowest leaves above the soil.
