As long as you've pruned back to cambium that's showing green, I'd leave it be for now and see if it pushes leaves soon. I had three that didn't come back for me from winter storage (probably the ones that had the worst root tunneling from some rodents that went into their pots), pruned them all back hard, and have gotten leaf development started on two of three. The other is still sitting but I'm hopeful. Give it some time on yours now that you've clipped off the dead wood, especially if night-time and soil temperatures are still low in your area. Hope it bounces back okay.

Leave it alone ,It is alive and it will leafe out after first of May.

LeaVe it as IS! If it was me, I would have done the trimming
(much) later. Depending on the cultivar you have, figs leaF
out at different times in spring. Unless wood is obviouly
'dead', I would leave it alone for now (actually one may be
better off if trimming is done much 'later').

Figs are more resilent than you think,
so just hang in there...!

Good luck,

Wow, 3 simultanous resposes...

Thanks everyone!!!

That plant is ALIVE!! I have two foot cuttings that I put in the ground a year ago that are so dead above ground that you can snap pieces off with your fingers but as soon as the temperature got in the 70's last week, sprouts are growing out of the ground at their base. Fig tree cuttings are incredibly tenacious to life. Once you put a cutting in the ground, don't go cutting all the dead wood off it months later just to see if it is alive. Just leave it alone and wait for hot weather to wake it up. You should not have cut the dead wood off that tree this early. Be patient in the future and do all wood cutting in the late fall. I have yanked out what I thought to be completely dead cuttings only to find a clump of roots at the base. I would coat the area that you cut with some kind of sealer. Have faith in your fig tree. It will grow.

I posted this a long time ago, but I wanted everyone to know that the tree has come back to life, lots of new branches and leaves. And yesterday I started seeing some fig development!!!
thanks everyone for your help.

Now if you want ripe figs You leave on ,all the figs that you notice till 15th of Julay.
All others that will appear later you brake it off.
That way you help the fig in faster maturing the existing figs.
The rest even if left will not have enough time to mature any way.Hope this will HELP>!!!!
