I am looking for a shrub or tree which tolerates wet soil. So far I am thinking of some kind of willow but I would appreciate another suggestions.

Cornus alba 'Sibirica' the Dogwoods (several varieties with coloured stems) seem to enjoy it even in almost swampy conditions. Good winter interest too.

That was a well-timed question! We were just considering whether our dogwood would be happy in the damp bottom of the garden! It is Cornus alba Sibirica so off it goes down there now.....
