I'm still trying to figure out if Slonovo Uvo is a hybrid or not. I contacted the Superior Seeds, Ltd. via a website FILMNET sent to me but haven't gotten a direct answer to that question. I emailed again using Google Translator and am awaiting another response. Below is what I've been told so far:
Dear Kathleen,
Thank you so much for your interest.★
Slonovo Uvo translated into English means Elephant Ear. These two are the same. We usually use Elephant Ear name when we speak with foreign countries to describe how big this pepper is. Our breeder Ivo Djinovic created this variety way back and all other peppers which are alike Elephant Ear are actually a copy and it is used similar crossing to try to create similar pepper. This pepper is popular because it gives fruits in large volumes and it was very popular in the back, maybe way more than now. For this reason there are many copies of this pepper.★
Palanacko Cudo is a copy of Elephant Ear (Slonovo Uvo) and it is from an institute in Smederevska Palanka. It is also a very good pepper.★
Superior is from Velika Plana.
Sincerely,★
Katarina Martinović
