Default fig tree

We went down our allotment today to find that our fig tree has been torn
apart by the mindless idiots who live around here. we have the main trunk
and 2 branches left,,,,will it survive or do we cut our losses and call it a
day.

any help will be appreciated


Fig trees are pretty tough so I'd expect it will regrow pretty
vigorously once spring arrives. I don't think they bleed sap from cuts
too badly. You could try interleaving it with a ferocious bramble for
self defence.

If you plant the bits they broke off they will probably grow as well.
