Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
Planted (pefuteumenhn). Perfect passive participle of futeuw, to plant, an old verb, from futon, a plant, and that from fuw, to grow. But this participle with eixen (imperfect active of exw) does not make a periphrastic past perfect like our English "had planted." It means rather, he had a fig tree, one already planted in his vineyard.
