(1) There is a tree outside the window.
(2) There is a tree outside of the window.

To me, both the sentences sounds odd because I'd think trees are usually simply outside . There's a tree outside. But if you want to say that you see something through a window glass, I'd say something like, "I see a rainbow out of my window".
