Entwives were female Ents. Entwives were put upon the earth by Yavanna to protect her trees along with their husbands the Ents. According to Treebeard, Fimbrethil was the most beautiful of the Entwives. However, prior to the Third Age, the Entwives abandoned the Ents in order to start a garden east of Fangorn in what became the Brown Lands; following the end of the Second Age, they disappeared. When Treebeard went searching for them, he could not find them.
