It appears that /forceload does not allow crops of any sort to grow, due to missing random ticks. Time on the server does pass. Is this intended behavior?
Tested on 1.15.2 with various crops and trees.

I believe this is intended, as the spawn chunks also have never grown crops. It's unfortunate, but I'm pretty sure it's intended for server performance or something like that.
