When friends face splitting up shared living space with meaningful trees

My best friend and I planted a tree together when we moved in next door to each other five years ago, but now she's moving across the country and we can't figure out who gets to keep it or what that even means. We keep making jokes about joint custody but underneath we're both kind of heartbroken and don't know how to talk about what this tree meant to our friendship.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The tree represents a relationship that can't be divided, forcing them to grapple with what continuity means when life circumstances change.
