I’ve a place in my garden where I’d like to put a small fruit tree.  This area is in a low spot where, during the winter rains, the soil stays quite wet. During a lengthy storm there is standing water for a time.  Would a dwarf persimmon or mulberry put up with this?  

I get an average of 40” of rain per year and it’s dry as a bone from June through November. I live in Northern California, on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada’s, in USDA zone 9a, heat zone 7.

What other fruit trees are supposedly tolerant of seasonal flooding?
