Set me thinking and Googling, seems it's new but I just can't find any plants for sale, my quuestion is has anyone seen any? or is so new that it's commercial growers only at the moment

Or is it like "Pink Lady" apples, no such variety and just a trade marked name for Cripps Pink?

Any of those fruit farms near you?
They're easy to root?

No, 'fraid none near me and from what I hear on radio commericial fruit growing is very high tech these days, no longer in muddy felds, all under cover with controlled lights, heat etc

One I heard this morning for strawberry mould is high intensity UV light, so high intensity it has to be done at night by robots with out humans, unless already blind ones that is
