Do plants like Cattails ever grow back?

Do plants like Cattails ever grow back? I'm 320 days in on Stalker so wondered if they grow back/reset after, say, 365 days?

No.  

Survival mode which was an adaptation of the very popular survival sandbox is frozen in time.  I had wondered about it long ago and realized that it reflects a period of time when Wintermute would be occurring.  In winter, nothing regrows.  Certainly if there was a mechanic I, playing Pilgrim for 900 to 2000 days (various sandboxes) would have seen something. 

The only time cattails might reappear would be if, during a landscape update, the devs do something wrong and cause things like that to respawn.  Else, what you saw was what you got.

They could add it as an option ,with the added option of the frequency of respawning. Say every six months or yearly maybe?

After 1300 days on Voyageur I came across one cattail along the shore of Mystery Lake between the camp office and first fishing hut.  It led me to believe they may respawn but now I am inclined to think that I somehow managed to overlook that one.

I'm on a 2400+ day run and I continue to find cattails now and then despite me swearing I'd harvested them all.  I think the only way to verify this would be to take a screenshot of a patch of them, harvest them then come back every 500 days or so.  Personally, I'm not going to be the one to do that test
