That fig is a breba. Its an early fig. It'll produce a larger crop at the end of summer.
You're kinda in a marginal fig area. You're in the NE, right? The old school dago's there would either dig the fig up and bury it in a trench to protect from frost and replant in spring or wrap it with burlap and stuff the burlap with straw. Here in Va they mostly survive but last year was rough, mine died back but is 7 ft now.
Dirty secret-DEF is 100% pure urea nitrogen. Dilute it with like a quarter cup in a gallon of water and feed it to your fig early on. Its like fig steroids. I also spray it on the lawn spring and fall from a tank on my zero turn at 2 cups per 15 gal.
