Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Mark 11:25
Faith in God is not the only condition for answered prayer. One must also forgive his or her fellow human beings. The Jews commonly stood when they prayed (cf. 1 Samuel 1:26; Luke 18:11; Luke 18:13).

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Mark 11:20-21
This event happened on Wednesday morning. "Withered from the roots" means that death was spreading through the tree beginning from its sources of nourishment.
