Turgidity and flaccidity don't enter into it, mate.
The source seems to say it wasn't the season for figs, and I made an observation about this which is backed up by every translation I could find.
It's not a 'trick' to simply tell the truth - don't be afraid.
Sorry sprechen not de deutsch.

If it's not the season for figs, only someone ignorant of figs would expect to find figs on it - as Jesus is made to do in the story.
No, no, you can't just read the words, you have to interpret them or it's no fun.
Yes, let's say it was a species of figs which Mark didn't know was supposed to be in season and Mark was putting in his opinion and thus was misled by Jesus's wholly correct response...
Who's speaking of a different species of fig? This would just be the common fig. Another unsubtle projection by you. Taqsh does not equal fig.
Markus 11:13
Het Boek (HTB)
13In de verte zag Hij een vijgeboom die in blad stond. Hij liep ernaar toe om te zien of er vijgen aanzaten, maar er zaten alleen maar bladeren aan. Het was nog niet de tijd voor vijgen.

Not finding taqsh in the gibberish above.
But Vijgen is Dutch for Figs...
