We're never told. Perhaps it was an ent-wife that Sam's counsin Hal saw in the North-farthing (mentioned in Sam and Ted's conversation in FotR), but mostly the fates of Ent-wives and Entings are the stuff of fanfics.

i guess that is kind of sad, a noble race such as the ents were abandoned by their own wives. Comical, yet sad

Yes, sad that they couldn't compromise. The Ents wanted huge forests, but the Ent-wives wanted pleasant orchards.

Does anyone know what prompted the Ent-wives to leave the (now called) Brownlands?

Maybe the ents disapproved of the entwives gardening because they wanted to watch football. I think it says in the lotr somewhere that they left for the greener lands of the north.

no, never such a hastey game as football. Perhaps a rousing game of chess?

The gardens of the Entwives in the later so called Brown Lands were destroied by Sauron when he withdraw before the forces of the Last Alliance. Sauron tried a tactic of "burned earth" to hinder his foes.

We can't know what happend to the ents and the entwives - but I think Tolkien hints in LotR that they maybe met again in Valinor. How did they get there - no idea. A "tree" in a ship sounds strange...
