I think on the whole ericaceous evergreens are best pruned at a time of year when there is low risk of frost, so I would leave it a few weeks yet, as we can still have a hard frost (as we experienced the middle of May last year). But, from experience of owning one, you can prune it very hard any time from May to September and they grow back well.
