Best Answer

Joining two people's initials on a tree can be considered a romantic act as they will stay there as long as the tree is standing - promising that the love between the two will last "forever". Carving your own initials on a tree is an egotistical way of saying "I was here" - much like spray painting your name or initials on a fence or building except that it can't be cleaned off or painted over.
