Yes. The law gives you the right to trim bushes and trees that cross the property line up to the property line. You must use reasonable care in trimming the bushes so that you will not cause damage to the bush (except for removing the parts that cross the property line).

If at all possible, talk to your neighbor before trimming.

Unless you can prove that the neighbor was negligent by not removing the tree then your insurance pays for your damage. For negligence to occur the neighbor would have to know that the tree was dead and about to fall on your property. Usually you would have had to notify your neighbor in writing of the tree's impending falling for them to be liable.

Can a neighbor make you take trees down that are within your own boundary line?

A neighbor cannot make you cut a tree down. BUT if your tree encroaches on a neighbor's property, causes a risk to a neighbor or their property, or causes a situation that prevents a neighbor from full enjoyment of their property, the neighbor can ask a court to make you cut back the limbs that are causing problems for their property. Your rights end where the property line begins; same for your neighbor.
