Any plant uses energy to either grow or produce fruit. When a plant (tomato or otherwise) bears fruit while small, ALL the energy is put into the fruit. Either don't worry , it will grow, just slower, or remove the two large tomatoes and put them in a window to ripen. the plant will begin to grow in a short time.

IGNORE "EDUARDO t".....You are in the correct category and asking the correct question.
Your tomato plant could be several things. I am assuming he is getting the same care as the other plants. He might have a bug. If you haven't done anything as far as bug killing I would spray them ALL with Sevin. It won't hurt all of them and if it is bugs they will all begin to wilt. Then wait and watch them for a week and apply fertilizer for tomatoes. Make sure they are getting the appropriate amount of water and sun.
That should do it. The only other thing that I think could cause the wilting would be over watering. But then you would be over watering them all.

Sounds like it might be fusarium wilt or some other disease. I would remove the plant as soon as possible so that it doesn't affect your healthy plants. Also, don't plant any tomatoes there for a couple of years. In the future look for varieties that are disease resistant.

hmmm that question brings me to think if it ain't broke don't fix it LOL
It's bearing fruit so it seems to be healthy.
Wilted leaves might just need a bit more of a drink.
I'd say no there's nothing wrong but if you want to cut back any areas that don't have a bloom to give it a boost, seems like a safe bet to me. :-)
So for a general answer to your question I'd have to say no nothing is wrong because your plant is in fact producing.

There's always a runt in the family. Could be it doesn't get as much sun as the others. Or it could just be in a "bad" spot. Give him a shot of Miracle Grow and see if it helps. If its producing fruit not too much could be wrong.

i think maybe the little one needs a shot of fertilizer. water soluble like peters plant food ,vigoro or miracle grow . any of those should work . good luck and happy gardening .
