Although in their native habitat, tomato plants grow as perennials, they are usually grown as an annual for cultivation. Tomatoes are referred to as tender perennials, as they will generally succumb once temperatures drop, especially once frost hits.
Hello. Yes you should. You should always remove all old plants from your garden to prevent disease and pest for the next season. Every fall I remove my old plants.
You always remove them at the end of the season, that way if they are harboring any kind or virus or disease it isn't left in the soil over winter to come back and affect the garden, especially if you never move where you plant your tomatoes. Always pick up any leaves and fruits that drop from the plants also. Always discard spent tomato plants and leaves and do not recycle them, as they may harbor more problems that will spread throughout your compost bin/pile, I burn mine in our pit with branches and other things as soon as I take them out.
