The message
from Martin Brown contains these words:

I would like to sit some of my other logs (beech I think) semi
submerged in
my pond. Is there anything I should treat them with to stop the
rotting of
the submerged bits, without it dissolving in to the pond and killing the
fish.

If you do that then don't you actually want them to rot to provide
habitat for creepy crawlies and other good pond life?

Put the willow in and it will probably grow...
