There are farmer techniques that include whipping a tree, root pruning with a spade, or slightly scoring the trunk (not all the way around!) to wake it up if it's not otherwise sick. – Yosef Baskin Aug 02 '23 at 21:48

Hows the leaf growth, perhaps a photo will help – Rohit Gupta Aug 02 '23 at 22:59

And what was the weather like when they should have flowered, or shortly before that? – Ecnerwal Aug 03 '23 at 03:30

Lots of orchards in my area got hit with untimely freezes and lost the entire year's production - no flowers means no fruit, and a freeze at the wrong time means no flowers.
I had a hardy apricot outright killed (no flowers, no leaves) without ever hitting temperatures below its "hardiness zone" - but there were some wild gyrations over the winter from very cold to quite warm. Not even a sucker from the rootstock, and it was happy last year.
