Strawberry Overwintering

Do I need to cut back leaves to two inches when strawberries are in containers, too? 

I read a long article which suggested this for ground SBs but didn't say to prune or not in containers, only to wrap in fleece.

    Strawberries are hardy plants in the UK. 
    Provided the containers are a suitable size and your plants are healthy, there is no need to either prune or fleece. Removing dead leaves can be done throughout the season.
