Hello all, I got a tomato plant this year in August and it looked fine at store. After a few weeks it started browning. I eventually found little worms under the leaves wrapped in cocoon of some sort .I used diatomaceous earth and hand picked them off…. Fast forward to now and the plant is actively growing back, if the core branches are still sooo brown.
What should I do? Toss it or keep maintaining it?

Depends how much light you get
Toss & plan for next season..
Where do you live? It’s important to know your climate.
I would keep it and weave it on the fence so it gets more light. I would trim off the dried dead parts. The dead stalks are probably one of several plants that got potted together and sold as “one plant.” So you actually have two or more healthy live plants in there with one (or more) dead plants. Tomato plants that are labeled as “indeterminate” keep growing long and will get lanky, and most will loose old leaves at the bottom. It’s normal.
Take a top cutting root in water, start over.
