Bamboo in ocala (zone 9a)

[Palmlover.]

I was going to mcdonalds when I saw two bunches of bamboo growing infront of the mcdonalds

The other bunch wich is not so healthy

Those look like Rhapis excelsa/Lady palms to me. It's cool to see what look like "volunteer" (growing in the environment) seedlings to the sides of the second image! They are slow-growing and I don't see them this tall very often, especially in front of McDonald's

I just did more research these are mangrove palms.

Like Cody said, these are rhapis excelsa aka lady palms. Mangrove palms usually refer to Nypa fruticans.  I doubt those are seedlings and more likely just the plant spreading via rhizomes. I’ve seen reports of R. Excelsa being able to take down to 18f

Thank you for the clarification.
