growthless
Lacking any development
Growthless describes something lacking growth or the capacity for it.
The word appears in economic and environmental contexts where growth is typically expected or desired: a growthless economy, growthless stagnation.
It can also describe living things that have stopped developing: The growthless seedlings withered in the shade.
