Yes, Connie.  Some need a bush fire to get going.

Eucalyptus paucilfolia, Cabbage Gum, Weeping Gum
Found in grassy woodlands and forests on the more fertile soils in
Tasmania.  There are some growing in the North East of the state in
sandy conditions.  I grow it and love its ornamental bark

 I am not sure of the original quest but if it is white barked trees and
conditions are moist there are some wonderful Betulas [birches]
Betula utilis "Jermyns" is a wonderful selected form of var
jacquemontii. A Birch with outstanding white trunk and long catkins
Betula utilis "Silver Shadow" is a Birch from the Himalayas - intense
white bark on the trunk and the small branches.
Betula ermanii.  trunk white, flushed pink and branches orange brown
