Q.Main Stem Died But I Have New Growth

I’ve had a fig tree for many years. Recently the main stem dried up and died. I now have new stems growing and it looks healthy overall. Will the new growth produce figs?

It depends on whether this is a grafted tree. If so, the new stems growing are not desirable. If it was growing from its own roots, it should produce fruit. Here is more:
