Pink buds - White Pine

My little White Pine (Hagoromo) struggled a bit over summer, so I've let it grow freely this spring. After a decent flush of candles, it's now covered with little pink buds, which I assume are the early stages of cone development.

Can anyone confirm this? Do the cones effect the energy balance of the tree much? (ie should I leave 20 odd buds on the tree).
