Georg Scholl

Georg Scholl (24 October 1751 – 17 May 1831) was a gardener at Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna.

Scholl was born in Weilbach, Bavaria, Holy Roman Empire.

Arriving at the end of May 1786, he completed a few short collecting trips with Scotsman Francis Masson and commissar Robert Jacob Gordon, these becoming longer over the next few months, the itineraries being unknown.

Much of this time Masson was also at the Cape and in correspondence to Joseph Banks pointed out the difficulties of getting transport for their collections.

From a horticulture stand point, the collections greatly enriched the gardens at Schönbrunn Palace and much of their new material was described and beautifully illustrated in the work of botanist Jacquin.
