Can a neighbor prune your bushes on his side to the point that they might die?
Laws vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction but, generally, neighbors may prune right up to their property line but not to the point where the shrub/tree/bush/etc. dies. However, "MIGHT die" is a subjective statement and open to interpretation and doubt.
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.
Can you claim your property that is past the fence line if there is a sixty year old fence?

What is encroachment on property?
An encroachment is an infringement on someone else's rights or intrusion on another person's property.

Encroachments are often caused by surveyor error in placing the pins marking the boundaries in a subdivision and the party who built their swimming pool partly on their neighbor's land was not at fault.
