Were there also other gather zones active? Have you also designated some plants to be picked somewhere?

I can confirm in 0.42.03: made big zone, set it to gathering and when herbalists was picking fruits in late summer I removed it via "x"-"X". He kept gathering on nearby trees inside this ex-zone.

I have got several other active gather zones and no designations for plants to be gathered.

I had no other zones or designations he would have been gathering/picking from.

Active - Inactive states for zones do not matter as referenced by issue 0010129 where identical behaviour with meeting zones & summary locations allow them to operate even while defunct.

Based off the OP's information & attached relationships, turning off 'Active' & the site zone (unsetting from gathering zone) should keep it in operation regardless until it is removed with X which is the behaviour described in my linked issue report above as a reproducible method for testing.
