Like trees in winter (4)

I believe the answer is:

bare

(Other definitions for bare that I've seen before include "Unadorned - naked" , "Carried" , "Unclothed or unadorned" , "State of deciduous tree in winter" , "Uncovered - unfurnished - unadorned" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
