[LotR] what happened to all the ent wives?

It was a comment made by Tree beard that he had lost them. What happened to them?

The Ents and Entwives both loved all growing things, but where the Ents preferred to live among the wild trees of the forests, the Entwives preferred to plant and tend. So the Ents stayed in the forests, but the Entwives had great gardens where they lived. Because they lived in the open, the Entwives were much more widely known, and indeed it was from them that Men (and Hobbits) learned the arts if agriculture. They were greatly revered for these teachings.

But though they lived apart, they did not forget each other. Whenever Ent or Entwife felt the urge, they would go and visit the other, and thus young Entings continued to be born.

But during the War of the Last Alliance, Sauron scorched the earth ahead of the advancing armies of Gil-Galad and Elendil - which included the gardens of the Entwives. They are a desolate wasteland known as the Brown Lands, in the Third Age.

No one knows what happened to the Entwives during this. Whether fled, or destroyed, or enslaved, none can say. Some told the Ents that they saw the Entwives fleeing, and the Ents searched long and far for them. But they never found them.
