About four years ago, I wrote a series of articles on new apple varieties and interviewed a number apple breeders and experts. Below is what I learned about Pink Lady. Hope the info helps you.

-----------------------------
Pink Lady was bred in New Zealand. It only needs 400 chill hours to set fruit and flourishes on the Pacific Coast, in the Mid-Atlantic and the Deep South. Good for hot climates, large pink fruit with sweet-tart flavor, very crisp. Does not require a pollinator. Zones 6-9.
This information came from the late Tom Vorbeck and Dr. Rob Crassweller, professor of tree fruit at Pennsylvania State University.
