Jaeger Hermann

The native Swiss Hermann Jaeger (1844-1895) was a grandson of the educator and school reformer Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi (1746-1827) and learned the profession of a gardener. He emigrated to the USA and settled east of Neosho (Missouri) in 1865. Together with his brother John, he cultivated grapes there. Subsequently, he worked as a breeder of grape varieties, regularly writing articles about it for magazines and exchanging information with European grape experts. For this purpose, he preferred to carry out Selektion of Wildreben of the species Vitis lincecumii from the Ozarks region in Missouri. Jaeger experimented with Kreuzung of other American species such as Vitis aestivalis and the phylloxera-resistant Vitis rupestris.
