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.
Water the soil around the tomato plants four to five times a week to keep the soil evenly moist during the summer growing months when rainfall isn't present. It is better to soak the soil to a depth of 6 to 8 inches than apply a light sprinkling of water.
