My tomato plant got deer'd, is it done?
 

A little over a week ago, a large buck ate most of a 5 ft Beefstake
indeterminate plant with a fair amount of green fruit. Gone were almost all
the leaves save for one small section, most of the growing ends of the
branches and all but 5 small green fruit. New foilage is starting to
appear.

Any recommendations on pnuning the old branches, or what I might expect or
do. It was in a very large pot which I have now moved up to a deck area
which get's less light and no deer.

Thanks in advance,

Marc Reinig

The season is probably too far advanced to provide time for the plant to make
any significant recovery

If it makes you feel any better, the buck will almost certainly regret
eating so much of a highly-toxic tomato plant.
