A shadow tree is a sort of DOM node that is attached to the regular DOM, but not actually part of it. In SVG1.1, the only thing that really has any sort of shadow tree are 'use' elements. For each 'use', there is a copy of the referenced element that 'hangs off' the DOM tree at the location of the 'use' element.
This will be more important in SVG1.2, where you will be able to easily create SVG representations of non-SVG element, but that's several months off.
