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.
Overfertilizing with nitrogen fertilizer may result in an excess of leaf growth, to the detriment of flower production. If your tomato plant is producing lots of fruits, it may drop new flowers in an effort to conserve energy for existing fruits. In extreme weather, there may simply be no insects to pollinate the plant. Tapping the flowers gently can help release pollen into the wind.
