That tree disappointed Jesus. Everything that God has made should be ready to do his work. And that tree is like many people. Everybody that God has made should be happy to do his work. But many people are not ready for God. He wants to come into their lives. But they send him away. They disappoint him.
The purpose of that tree was to grow fruit. But that tree had failed completely. Jesus said that the tree would never have any fruit again.
