Tomato plants are not perennials, you would be better off if you plant a few seeds if your plant is an heirloom tomato. The plants only last so long before they start dying off. You could always give it a try and perhaps it will root itself and last longer.
I have not tried this but I have read that if you cut out the suckers and plant them, they will grow.
Seeds from your favorite tomatoes are the best way to go per my mom.. she had little envelopes of seeds laying around of things that she liked every summer :)
Hi Coo. I'm Cindy. I have been gardening practically all my adult life. I have never heard of starts from the tops. I do know that you can plant a tomato plant up to the top. Everything else is under the soil. The big difference is that the root system is intact. To start a new tomato plant you should have seeds or roots. Best wishes.
You can root them any part of a tomato plant and it will grow & produce.
