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.
Your tomato plants have been growing well. Then one day you notice that a lot of foliage has disappeared. You may have hornworms in your garden! The hornworms blend in very well with the green tomato foliage and usually go unnoticed until the damage is done or they get too large to easily hide. Damage usually begins in midsummer and continues throughout the remainder of the growing season.
