Has anyone used Eastern Redbud limbs/logs in their ponds?

I have a redbud that is scheduled to come down soon. I've been keeping my eyes open for some oak limbs but I haven't found anything so far. The redbud is convenient for me - but would there be any problems using it in the water? (I don't know why there would be, but I thought I would ask

We have a lot of locust, maple, apple limbs laying around. After seeing your wood work, I may try a bit of it. The wood I have used is now gone, dissolved away.
