You should leave these alone. You can thin them to pairs if there are too many (i.e., 5-7) in a given area. If you are at the point where needle size is a concern you can cut old needles (left from last fall's needle pulling) that surround this growth, cutting some of the sheath.

If you have no idea what I'm talking about you probably aren't there yet and should thin as necessary but leave all else alone!
