What are the huge big plums

called. Had a bag given to me, some were big like lemons, red skin, and kinda yellow inside. Made some pickle with them, but not very nice.

No these ones had very dark skin, like a doris plum,but yellow inside.

That photo is of Luisa plums which are not quite ripe,.Their skins do turn red when completely ripe and ours are huge, so Luisa might be the variety you're looking for.Luisas are very fragrant and slip-stone.

Could be burbank! We have a tree and get huge ones most years- not many, but huge.
