Can people chop down trees inside of protective barrier

In exploration mode? Can they chop down my trees or pick all my cotton?

They can pick your cotton, and pick anything that is pickable...but technically they cannot chop down trees or modify the land or structures if it's within your barrier...if you leave your doors unlocked they can come in your house and loot, but they cannot damage your structure or dig anywhere around it.

I don't know if they fixed it.  But you used to be able to do it with a saw.

I did not know this...

It may have been fixed, I havent tested it.

I’ve not really tried myself, but I have noticed that a lot of players have planted tall trees on the limits of their protective barrier.

If it is now indeed impossible to cut down ‘owned’ trees, they now make for a very cheap, effective natural fortification.

...except the trees like that tend to cause a lot of lag ?

I really haven't noticed anything that's laggy like in the old days.  You can't plant them on top of each other now, and that was a big culprit.
