    We do not recommend where to buy products. I would recommend doing a google search in the shopping tab. This will usually lead you to what you need. If not, then add the words "for sale" in with your search on the regular search page, and this will do the trick.

    Normally 8 - 12 feet spacing on a trellis. But assuming that you intend for the vines to grow up the posts and spread overhead on top of the pergola, I would say 6 plants, one on each post. That's if there is a post in the middle of the 18 foot span as well as corner posts. If there are only 4 posts overall, then one on each post will be okay, but won't create as dense a cover as fast as it would with 6 plants. I wouldn't put two on a post, but you wanted closer spacing, you could provide other vertical support with a trellis or wire.

    If they are table grapes, prepare the soil well, with a deep and wide planting hole and rich composted and mineralized soil, it will provide high nutrient density, support more fullness of growth to cover the pergola and better quality fruit.

    I would position the primary leaders toward the center and rafters. They will branch and those branches can be positioned outward away from the main stems toward the edges and open spaces for an even distribution as much as possible.

    It can be very difficult to move an established vine. You will be best off taking cuttings, removing the trees in question, or using new plants. They will not fruit as well in shade, so anything to help that will be best.

    I'm sure an online nursery would ship to you. Try contacting a few and asking!

    Pruning grapes outside of dormancy is not recommended. This will negatively impact the production and fruit quality. HOWEVER, if you already know that you will be taking that entire vine off, then pruning from that vine will not be too much of an issue.

    This article will help you with pruning grapes properly, which any cutting on the plant, whether it be for eating, or just pruning, will be considered pruning: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/grapes/prune-grape-vine.htm
