West Florida Tampa Bay Area plant. Existed when we moved in and can’t tell what it is. Thank you.

Looks like a red tip Photinia to me. They’re susceptible to bacterial leaf spot and it’s helpful to keep them opened up some in the middle and pruned up from the bottom to encourage air flow. If possible keep them from rubbing against other plants and rain or water sprinkled on the foliage splashes the disease around spreading it to nearby susceptible plants.
I’m not familiar with Florida native plants, but it looks quite similar to my ficus (benjamina) tree, which is potted indoors (Midwestern U.S)
