I have a "decorative plum tree" in Modesto, California. It came with the property I don't know the exact name but I see similar trees all over Northern California. It has deep purple-red leaves and similar colored fruit. It ripens in early June. The tree typically has many fruit each year, they have a sour skin and sweet inners...a good taste. Also they are good to boil and then freeze;use them later in the year. I once tried to make plum jam and it didn't work, I think I picked them too late. The fallen fruit have sprouted new trees. These have been hearty plants, with yellow plums-these are smallish but tasty. A friend up the street has a similar situation and his tree is 30ft high with 1.5 to 2 inch fruit...very tasty! Both ripen in late July and remain in the tree for 4 weeks. After 10 years of eating them I can say they are safe to eat them.
