He does talk about them indirectly. He talks about how sequoias taken from America and planted in European parks don't do so well outside of their native environment.
He doesn't spend much time talking about specific biology of New World trees though. The specific trees he talks about most are European beeches, oaks, and spruces.
However, he's really mostly concerned about the commonalities of trees in general and specifically trees interacting together in a forest so the information is relevant to any species of trees.

If the author talked about sequiolfa, I missed it. He mostly discussed trees that are native to Europe.

Yet, the trees he talks about are also "native" to North America. Why would a European make N American references? Many of the trees mentioned are just as native here as in Europe or introduced here so long ago it hardly matters. If you love trees and want to learn about the inner lives why would nationality matter at all.
