Edited to add after 4 days of additional gameplay after filing report that wild plants and trees are not maturing or producing harvestables in any Sims 4 worlds.
New save started after installing SE. After weeks of sim play time, not a single coconut tree, kava plant, taro plant or pineapple plant has grown to the point it will produce a harvestable item.
My conservationist sim living in Sulani had to resort to buying a pineapple to finish the level 6 work from home task of planting something. I do play rotationally with three families so there have been times I am away from the conservationist for about 8 days prior to returning. The other two families live in Mt. Komorebi.
Possibly related for all I know. However, that would mean that in order for a sim in Sulani to have access to plants and trees that produce anything they would have to live on Mua Pel'am or a specific neighborhood area where plants and trees are located.
The pre-made Kealoha family lives in that waterfront lot. I've gone to work with him on Mua Pel'am for sim weeks and no plants or trees mature and produce. I've even seen some of them revert to dirt piles after having rotated back to the family after playing a sim family in Mt. Komorebi for a few sim days. The coconut trees have never matured to the point where they even look like more than a small, freshly sprouted bush. As a matter-of-fact, none of the wild plants or trees anywhere in the Sulani world have matured to producing, even though I have tried to spend time in all areas doing something like fishing, nor has the crystal spike rock near the volcano respawned.
My primary intent was to report the problem for Sulani when I posted but I realized after a play session last night that I haven't encountered a single producing wild plant or tree and that rocks don't seem to be respawning once dug in any of the worlds. Since one of the sims I play is a collector and another has the Angling Ace aspiration, I've travelled a lot in all the worlds over multiple sim weeks, trying hard to spend enough time in areas for timers to kick in and work. Alas, no joy.
I did a game repair on 11/14/20 and another on 12/2/20, deleting localthumbcache each time. Neither game repair has alleviated the situation for me. So, no, wild plants and trees are not producing in either world in which I have sims living, nor in worlds in which I've had them spend time.

Plants (both wild and gardened) don't produce harvestables anymore. None of the debug options have made any difference. It doesn't seem to be related to seasons, as it also affects year-round plants like the ones that grow in Forgotten Hollow. The issue seems to have only started after the pre-Paranormal Stuff Pack update, and is only present in games I've started since then: I have one save I've been working on since December that is not affected by this glitch. In every save I've tried to start since then, however, the problem is seemingly unavoidable. I haven't seen this issue discussed anywhere else, so I'm not sure if it's a known issue or not.

I've never had a problem with this. I've always just looked for the plants and harvested. I've never really had to wait. I've been looking on and off for 4 days now.
