Not a banana spider but a Golden Orb-web Spider (Nephila clavipes) as per Bayucca's identification. You should update/edit this spotting so it doesn't continue to show as "unidentified."
Please, update your ID, thanks!
Nice find! Please update your spotting with the scientific name so your spotting can be considered complete. :-)
Yes, Nephila clavipes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nephila_clavipes
