Can plants recover from wind damage?

JustinMM · May 29, 2012

Hi all! So I'm a first time gardener, and I probably should have staked down my plants a while ago. We had some severe weather last night, and I noticed this morning that one of my cherry tomato plants had completely bent over. It's about 1.5 feet tall. I noticed that the stem was not broken, so I put it back upright, and staked it right away (I did the same to the other plants).

Is the plant still salvageable, or did it go through too much stress?

Thanks!
