Hi, Julstexas,

Figs are great trees and have wonderful fruit (I have many varieties), but the wood of figs is notoriously weak and prone to splitting. Fortunately, your tree probably has a very good root system, and properly cared for, will rejuvenate strongly from the roots. What I would do, if I was you, assuming that the trunks are not large enough to do damage to your house, should they fall, is to allow the trunks to remain through the summer months. Any parts of the tree that still maintain a connection with the roots will continue to grow and help maintain the root system until the winter months when the tree is dormant. The parts of the tree that are separated from the root system will die. When you are sure that the limbs are dead (scratch the bark and look for green underneath), then you can trim the limbs back. Early next spring, a couple of weeks prior to when the fig would leaf out, cut the tree back to your satisfaction. The tree will probably sucker out prolifically from the roots. Let the shoots grow and after a year or so choose the strongest and most symettrical 7 trunks or so. Make sure that the fig has plenty of sun by trimming back any branches that shade the fig. Moderately fertilize the tree next spring. Good luck!

I would saw it off below the split, and let it grow back from the shoots that come out of the stump. I may be a bush and not a tree, depending on how you prune it thereafter, but you should sill have figs (though not this year). I would also take some cuttings of last years wood (while they are still fresh), and pot them up, and most likely grow a replacement tree, or two, just in case.
