Willow springs to mind. You might be better off with drainage and a soak-away though.

Welcome to the forum. 
As Oliver has said Willow comes to mind but unless you have a good sized garden I wouldn't recommend it. They spread their roots over a good distance and are known to damage house foundations and water mains etc.
Another option is to solve the problem with the standing water as Oliver mentioned.
