That looks alot like Bambusa Oldhamii - or "Giant Timber Bamboo". A great tropical clumper growing 50 to 60 feet high. I have three plants in my yard and I love them! On one plant, the new culms grew 1" since this morning!

Are these yours?

They look real nice!

That is Bambusa vulgaris. Probably the most common timber bamboo in southern and the warmer parts of central FL, especially at older homesites.

Thanks for the ID!

I suspected vulgaris as there is another clump of (that I knew was vulgaris) that this sure looked like.  But, I know little of Bamboo, so am not well suited to ID's.
