Salmonberry juglone tolerance

Asheville, NC

Has anyone had experience of planting salmonberries close to black walnut trees? I started with three healthy plants; the ones that are closest to the walnut have shriveled leafs. I don't know anyone else with them here. We have had a good amount of heat and dryness (zone creep, climate change in general), so I have just started keeping a closer eye on them. They are all sending out new leafs, so it might be simply heat—but I know that juglone problems may take a while to manifest. If I need to transplant them, now's the time. (But I'd really like them to live where they are.) Thanks in advance for any suggestions or advice.

I found this page when I thought we had a black walnut on the property. http://myflowerland.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/planting-under-black-walnuts.pdf What I saw on the page is that rubus sp(blackberry) is suceptible but rubus occidentalls (black raspberry) is not. I tried looking further through google but so far nothing. If I do find anything Ill post it.

sorry for all the links, this seems like it is susceptible https://books.google.com/books?id=m4uLjlDAXKgC&lpg=PA155&ots=sRp3chhtfz&dq=Rubus%20spectabilis%20juglone&pg=PA155#v=onepage&q=Rubus%20spectabilis%20juglone&f=false

Its a book called principles of forest pathology uploaded to google.
