Exegesis
The apodosis employs the future indicative ekkópseis {ἐκκόψεις | ekkópseis} ‘you will cut down,’ referring back to autḗn {αὐτήν | autḗn} ‘it’ (the tree), completing the men–de balance. The formal reconstruction mirrors these two outcomes, while the dynamic version renders the time frame idiomatically as ‘next year.’
In context — Luke 13:9
And if it bears fruit in the future , good; but if not, then after that you will cut it down .
