Around here, deer prefer the reddish new tips of apple, rose, blackberry, etc. The red colored portions seem to be more concentrated nutritionally and they know that. I had a heck of a time keeping them off a red leaf plum as the color made them go after the whole thing.

You never know about deer. I have had deer eat the tips of new growth off my
rose bushes and leave my peas alone; figure that. Do you think deer like
variety like people? Seems so.
