Do leaves disappear forever or they grow again ?

if we collect leaves, do they grow again ?

Gone forever

Until the next major update.

In my single player, offline game, that is not my experience. Leaves seem to reappear around some trees like fruits.

There are a number of things that reappear that aren't supposed to. The game is still in Early Access and is under active development - not everything works right yet.

Small plants definitely regrow if you collect them by hand. Stuff chopped down via the chainsaw is supposed to be gone forever, but even those plants tend to respawn when you reload a save or after the game gets updated.

The first case is not a bug; the second case might be....

I've got about 1000 hours in this game and yet to see anything "respawn" as you have described. There are some trees that can be cut down and reappear when you reload but I've never seen anything naturally replenish...

Nuts and berries respawn as long as you don't destroy the plant itself.
Any other collected foliage, should not respawn under normal circumstances. Though sometimes in major game updates, the devs do a reset of the collected stuff in your savegame due to world changes

They are not supposed to, but sometimes it bugs out and they do. It's best to get off biomass/biofuel ASAP and rush switching to coal since that is an infinite energy resource, you won't have to worry about literally running out of fuel just to run your factory.
