Horrible experience. I had landscaping done and all plants and trees from Apple house are thriving. I wish we had never purchased any from Abells. Three plants looked awful when put in and I should have requested they not be used of course they died. My tree started doing poorly (it was watered as directed on timed water everyday). I contacted Abells and was told fertilizer and to water more which I did. The tree got worse. Then no response for over 2 weeks, finally my landscaper called and they refused to replace because it had too much water- which they told me to do in email in writing. Awful I will never do service there again and my landscaper has agreed he will avoid them in the future. Buyer beware just wait on Apple House to get your tree in! My trees from there and plants are thriving.

The trees are nice, but the employees are horrible. They have an employee named gracie who smokes weed in the fields with other employees. Another named brandon who smokes meth in the trucks and fields. It's not a good place if looking for a good work environment. Full of druggies.

The worst tree/plant guarantee policy in town. Was told nobody but the owner could exchange our dead tree for us and the owner will not respond to the email the staff member told us to send. We had same issue several years ago in our old house. We’ve never had this problem with Mays, Lowes, or anywhere else.

I would NOT do any business with this company. We paid for several trees and then they claimed they were already sold. They tried to offer replacement trees which were in horrible condition, 3 feet shorter and they wanted $189.00 more for each tree. The trees we purchased were not sold, they decided to sale them to a contractor. They never tried to offer any compensation or a small discount for our effort of having to go there to look for replacement trees. AND, when we cancelled the order we had to argue with them because they wanted to keep money for a transaction fee. This is not ethical and I intend to report them to BBB and any other business agency in Indiana that is intended to protect consumers.

The owner is a very mean and unethical man. He lies and cheats people including me. I would not recommend doing any sort of business with this man and his company. He totally blew it. He's also a convicted sex offender as well.

As a former worker at Abell's nursery and landscape, I would not recommend working at this company at all nor would I buy any of their products. This company hires people who are not yet sober on drugs, which includes weed/marijuana. This company also commits fraudulent misrepresentation against its employees by refusing to follow tax rules, refusing to give a W2 form (you can fill out a W4 form there still), refusing to notify its employees to fill out a W4 form (I had to be the adult here and get the W4 form myself), and by forcing its employees to not only lie to their healthcare company, but also to the **** which have to see physical proof of employment such as a pay stub that is attached to the check. This company lies to their employees about what kind of employee they are. The real fact is that Abell's does not hire people to be independent contractors. Also, they do not have a nursery- they sell plants for retail. They do not grow plants from seed. Last but not least, the owner of the company is incompetent through his own actions and is a child molester. The owner of Abell's is a child molester because he has a record on him. He used to be a teacher at a nearby school and got fired from his job because he was trying to have an inappropriate relationship with a minor.

A couple of the trees we purchased last year did not come back this spring. They replaced them at no charge and they guys did a great job and the trees look wonderful. Thank You for fitting us into your schedule during your busiest season!

Abell Nursery is EXCELLENT. My spouse and I went in hoping to find a nice tree for our garden bed in the front of the house, so we wanted something that wasn't going to get too big. The woman in the garden center directed us to a range of sections to check out and said the height and width parameters were listed on the tags.We found one we really liked, but it wouldn't fit in our car. Luckily, the man who was helping us load the car remembered there were some more of the same kind of tree in the greenhouse and we found the perfect one. It went home with us and we immediately planted it. The tree is beautiful and smells amazing. I can't wait to harvest our first pie peaches!

I hired Abell's to bring mulch and to put it in place for me in 4 separate flowerbeds. I was totally impressed by the quality of the mulch, but more importantly, by the quality of the SERVICE. The guys who did the work were wonderful. They were conscientious and respectful of my property. They performed their work in an efficient yet careful manner. I cannot say enough but highly recommend them .

I spoke with this Alyssa on Wednesday March 23rd about some trees that we needed approximately 100 trees ranging from 20 @ $80 a piece and 80 @ $239 a piece do the math on that. She said she was going to get back with me a day later. Unfortunately she has been dodging my phone calls and I been lied to several times. I wouldn't recommend this company. It's safe to say I'm glad I didn't do business with them. They had a chance to make a huge profit but blew it. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!!!!!

We are extremely pleased and impressed with this company. We were buying 4 big maples for our farm. They were to be planted in a difficult location. The staff in the office was wonderful from an educational and communication standpoint. We then had the crew out to install and they got it done. A steep rocky hillside that required a ditch crossing. They did great. Finally, at the end of the day, Craig called and let me know how things went and gave me some maintenance tips. Outstanding service! Unfortunately, that seems rare these days. Thank you!

I had a really negative experience with this nursery. The salesperson was rude, the advice was Help your self, and when i discovered there was no guarantee after I had paid by credit card. I was charged a fee for canceling the sale.

Thank you so much for getting back to me. You guys are so easy to talk to. I had several questions before I planted it, then again with the cicades, and then now and never once felt like I was bothering you. I will always highly recommend you. Thanks again, Jim I sent the above email to Abell Nursery just today to thank them for their help. I wanted to paste it on to their Facebook page to let other people know how I feel about them. It’s so nice when they take the time to make sure all your questions are answered, and they always do take the time.

Be sure that you are OK with their tree planting process. See these links for best practices and Second link has many experts' advice. My 6 pine trees were planted in holes only dug to the size of the ball and burlap/pins/wire basket were NOT removed or even cut back. It's like wearing a pair of shoes way too small for you feet and running a marathon. I fear that my trees may die within 2-3 years rather than thrive AND Mr. Abell sees nothing wrong with how he has his trees planted. Disappointed customer.
