Free cuttings contest

Yesterday I ran into a Syrian man who has a large fig tree growing in Allentown, Pa. The area has a good population of immigrants from Middle east, Italians and Greeks. He was not sure where it came from originally. 
I was able to sample a few figs on it, although this wasn't the best time for fig ripening but this fig was really good. It is a very productive fig and vigorous.

So 3 free cuttings will go to the person who can give this fig a name. By the end of the week we'll choose 3 names that were given and will vote on one. Person with the best name that fits this fig will be sent the cuttings. 



Sunfire 
The inside looks like a fire sun with flames around it. 

Northern Lights

The skin looks oddly like the northern lights. The greenish hue in the black backdrop and what looks like stars

watermelon.

Keep them coming.

The skin is usually very dark, but due to the cool weather it only turned light purple.

I can't think of one name, except for the man that made Allentown famous... But Billy Joel Fig isn't going to cut it, so I'll just vote!  Good luck out there!

Whenever I see "Macool" I think of "McLovin".  In fact, not five minutes before I saw this contest, I thought to my self "if I ever get to name a fig, it will be McLovin"  (no joke).  So I'm going with "McLovin", but I also like "The Tree Of Which Bass Sent James 3 Cuttings".

Or both.  They can be synonyms for each other. ;)
