Why are Pink Lady apples called Pink Ladies??

Answer 1

The Pink Lady apple was the result of the Western Australia Department of Agriculture's apple breeding programme. Researchers crossed the Golden Delicious and Lady Williams varieties in the early 1980s to create this vibrantly pink apple. Because of its lovely pink colour and the fact that one of its parents was named "Lady", it was a natural choice of name. The apple's varietal name is in fact Cripps Pink Cultivar. The Pink Lady was released in Australia in 1989, and is one of the few apples whose name is trademarked, the trademark being owned by the Australian Apple and Pear Growers Association.

Answer 2

At the turn of the century, there was an orchard in Kent that only employed Ladies who wore pink clothes and pink lipstick to pick the apples from the trees. The suffragettes had a thing or two to say about this and put an end to the sexist, orchard owners.

Or maybe...
It is a cunning marketing ploy-

The thought of Pink Ladies is far more attractive than the thought of a Granny Smith.
