Default fig tree hit by frost

How would you treat a fig tree that has lost most of the figs due to
frost/the cold? The tree is about 5 years old and about 6 foot tall,
against a house wall. Not fan trained.
I've never grown figs so i am not sure of how to go about tackling it.
Like wise some books say figs can harm foundations (house is about mid
19th century) others say it is fine left there.


You can just leave the tree as it is, or pick-off the figs. They
wouldn't have come to anything anyway in the open.

Figs crop three times a year, but in our climate, we only (reliably) get
one.

I expect you'll get the one crop in mid summer.
