Unfruitful Fig Tree Withered

Mark 11:12-14. 
12 Now the next day, when they had come out from Bethany, He was hungry. 13 And seeing from afar a fig tree having leaves, He went to see if perhaps He would find something on it. When He came to it, He found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. 14 In response Jesus said to it, “Let no one eat fruit from you ever again.” And His disciples heard it.

Later they walked by this tree and found it withered and still without fruit, dried up even to the roots.  Jesus talked of faith in God for prayer to be answered by this tree example, but I wonder if it had more to do with unfruitfulness and the consequences.   Food for thought.
