Working in Germany as an arborist

Are there many people on here who are working in Germany at the moment?

 

Just curious to what it is like working out there and whether there are many English speaking tree companies or whether you have to know the lingo?

 

Just looking at planning future travels and be nice to know how people find it. Whether that be working full time or only certain months through the year

 

Thanks

I am in a Vienna based tree company and work in Germany quite regular . We have just opened a small office in Köln and think they are Looking for someone at the Moment . Must admit i hate working there tbh and none of the other Lads like it either . If you are intending to stay there on the long term language is very very important imo .

I've been here for a couple of years mate and got into a good company with stupidly nice work , the boys in the company speak very good english which has been good and bad as my german hasn't really improved to much.

if you get the right company , you will find that there is a very great attitude towards tree care and a huge amount of pruning and deadwooding over the warmer periods and felling is during the felling season which is 3 or 4 months during the colder time of the year.

feel free to pm me a about any questions mate.

One of the greatest hypocrisies committed in this industry is pruning during the summer height of beetle infestation season!

 

Telling the client that not pruning their trees during this time, atleast here in CA, despite the loss of monetary profit, is a sure indication that your company puts the health and long term well being of the tree and client foremost on said company's to do list, IMO.

 

To the extent that any company or country puts this truth forth rightly to their clients regardless of monetary loss?

 

Is a sure sign of enlightened professionalism at its best IMO.

 

Kind of the abc's of professional do's and don'ts.

At the risk of going off topic here its only hypocrisy, IF you say you don't do it then do it.

 

Can you explain how pruning trees when beetles are active is bad?
