Expert Response
I have had deer feed on the tips of the raspberry canes before but not on the thicker, woodier canes. I suppose if they were really hungry deer could feed on the plants during winter but usually they graze on my raspberries during the summer and target the more tender new growth.
Thanks for the question.
