Growing Tomatoes

Pruned too much...help!

15 years ago

I'm new to gardening and evidently pruned a bit too much on one of my tomato plants. It's about 6' tall and I pruned yesterday, woke up this morning and it's one droopy and unhappy plant, maybe in shock? Any advice on how to keep this guy from croaking? Thanks!
