What does Mark 11:13 mean?

He saw a fig tree in the distance with leaves, so he went to see if it had any fruit. But when he got there, he found only leaves, because it wasn't the season for figs. Mark 11:13 - Modern Text Bible

(Jesus approaches the tree hoping for fruit, but finds none. The tree looks promising but is empty, symbolizing unfulfilled potential.)
