Any guesses about what kind of prune this is?

Last weekend, a friend of mine showed me several plums he just picked from a neighbor's tree. They were small, like a cherry tomato, purple skin, and yellow flesh with quite a tart flavor. Remarkably, not a single one had any kind of insect damage, and I assure you that plum curculio is around here. It sounds like the neighbors don't do anything to take care of the tree, so I doubt the lack of damage is due to any spray program. It also sounds like the tree looks quite old.

The other plums I've seen ripen much earlier in the year, like June, and they get riddled with curculio.

Any idea what kind of plum this is?
