Hi! Quick backstory - I got a fiddle leaf fig, but apparently didn't know how to care for it very well despite research, so every single leaf turned brown and fell off.

Now, a few months later and with some extreme TLC, I've managed to revive it somewhat. There are leaves sprouting out of the dirt (??) as well as several new shoots coming off the plant itself.

My question is, should I prune the top branches that are still showing no signs of life? If so, where should I prune them?

Thank you!!

Good job! Yes. Trim it down to the first green leaves. Keep up the good work and soon it will fill out and grow again! Welcome! Keep us posted!
