Jesus gives time for one to bear fruit. If it does not happen by then HE CUTS IT DOWN.

Does not seem to hard to understand.

He gives a believer the Holy Ghost. He gives them grace. He expects them to bear fruit. If they dont he sets forth clear warnings of their destruction.

How much fruit must a tree bear in order for it not to be cut down?
