KhoffA bare tree is one that has lost its leaves, as trees do in winter.I got the meaning of `bare tree' but still I can't understand the sentence as a whole.
I will be glad if someone rephrase or explain the entire sentence.

In temperate regions of the world, trees grow leaves in the spring and shed them in the autumn, leaving them bare of leaves in the winter >> http://tinyurl.com/2f599z
In tropical or subtropical regions trees continuously shed old leaves and grow new ones, so do not become bare unless they are dead.

Do you understand the word 'sillouette' now? It means that you can clearly see the outline shape of something but not the detail. It is normally of something dark against something light. So here you can see the tree. It has no leaves on it. The shape of the tree overall and its branches stand out clearly against the light coloured sky.
