Hello: I am a novice seeking advice from any fig tree enthusiasts regarding my tree "Celeste".

She was planted approximately 4 years ago.

Year 1: Grew quite large-no fruit-not wrapped -died over winter.

Year 2-New growth-grew to 4'-no fruit-wrapped for winter but water got in and plant died. Renewed growth over summer- but no fruit.

Year 3-Had been wrapped successfully--but unusual frost killed plant after uncovered. New growth to 5'-no fruit-wrapped after all the leaves fell off.

Year 4-Successfully unwrapped in Spring-plant grew to 6', vibrant plant. No fruit--but this year has "nubs" on 4-5 branch tops.

I live in the Northeast and am including photos of the plant taken today. Are these "nubs" fruit that will not mature at this point in time? Should this be pruned, wrapped, unwrapped? Hoping for some figs ;-)
Appreciate any help!
