Hello! Tree-wrap is more about sun-angle than about temperatures, so there's no harm in leaving things wrapped until mid-April. If the tree that is wrapped is already leafed out, it is safer to remove it early if you'd like to. (The April 15 recommendation is more of a guideline than a hard-and-fast rule).
I hope this is helpful!
Cordially,
John
