questn Black cedar question

I planted 80' of hedgerow using black cedars (thuja occidentalis nigra) a couple summers ago and the customer was asking what the little brown "buds" are on the plants. They're unattractive and make the plants look like they suffered winter damage, but on close inspection the foliage is green and healthy. I've seen green buds from new growth on cedars but not brown. Anyone know why they've got these brown buds on them?
