I think that the bottom line is that there is no small tree that will thrive there. For some reason you might have a very high water table right there due to the slope of the land forcing water to collect in that spot. It would probably be worse in years of above normal rainfall.

You aren't making sense, Bill...
Plenty of small trees grow in standing water.

I've already mentioned river birch, there are other birches as well.
And then there are neat shrubs like button bush and wax myrtle which may or may not be hardy in the location...

I've already suggested a field trip to the local arboretum... Another trip to the local state forest or other camp ground would also be in order... Or as I said... just go fishing...

a quick google search also turns them up easily enough...
