Horticulturist card

I am not sure what is the correct interpretation of the 2nd option of the Horticulturist card, as there is a difference between the English and the German text. In the English version, the 2nd option says that you can gain 3 VP by uprooting and discarding 2 vine cards. Does this mean the vine cards you discard must be the same cards which you uprooted? The implementation here on BGA answers this question in the negative - if you have other vine cards in hand, the implementation allows you to discard 2 of these other cards (or 1 of them and 1 just uprooted card), keep the just uprooted vine cards (or 1 of them) in hand, and still get the 3 VP.
The German version of this card, by contrast, is very clear. It states "entwurzle 2 [Rebenkarten] und wirf sie ab, um 3 [Siegpunkte] zu erhalten", in English "uproot 2 [vine cards] and discard them, to gain 3 [victory points]".
So, the German version of the card is clearly at odds with the implementation on BGA. Regarding the English version, there is room for discussion.
