Its basically too much of a good thing. The tree normally would not grow in a all water environment, but will still try. It will be stunted because the tree roots will not grow in search for water because water is all around. The tree needs dry soil to get nutrients out of the soil from bacterial decay. With the saturation of the ground, this air breathing bacteria cannot exist. Unless the tree is a water growing tree like a cypress, too much water on the roots can be harmful.
