They ain’t just cuttin’ taxes.

The White House will ax a nearly 200-year-old tree planted on the South Lawn by Andrew Jackson, because it is too damaged to remain, according to a CNN report.

First Lady Melania Trump gave the final order to fell the so-called Jackson Magnolia, which the Democratic seventh president planted in memory of his late wife, Rachel, following the divisive 1828 election that Jackson blamed for her death, the station reported.

The FLOTUS made the decision following a recommendation from the US National Arboretum, which found “the overall architecture and structure of the tree is greatly compromised and the tree is completely dependent on the artificial support.

“Without the extensive cabling system, the tree would have fallen years ago. Presently, and very concerning, the cabling system is failing on the east trunk, as a cable has pulled through the very thin layer of wood that remains. It is difficult to predict when and how many more will fail.”

The first lady’s office declined to comment to CNN.

Legend has it Jackson grew the magnolia — which has quietly presided over countless White House Easter egg rolls, press conferences and the reception of foreign dignitaries — using a sprout from Rachel’s favorite tree on their Hermitage, Tenn., farm.

The arbor’s decline began decades ago and was made worse by misguided care. A growth on the trunk broke off around 1970, and the resulting cavity was filled with cement to prevent the open sore from rotting, CNN reported, noting the procedure was considered acceptable then but that horticulturalists no longer recommend it.

The cement was removed in 1981, and the pole-and-cable system that currently supports the magnolia was installed.

Today the trunk is so deteriorated that more cables cannot be added, and the safest option is chopping down the thing altogether, the Arboretum recommended. Even the more stable portions of the tree will soon succumb, it noted.

“In addition, the high winds resulting from frequent helicopter landings complicates the future of the limb. It may fail in an unpredictable way,” the Arboretum report states.

White House groundskeepers have already begun propagating an offshoot of the tree so they may plant a clone of the historic tree, according to CNN.

The dying tree will be removed later this week.
