These are basically warm zone trees. Perhaps your cold temps are not allowing them to set blooms properly. Sounds like you need to select trees and shrubs that thrive in your zone. I know I cannot grow thriving birch trees in FL, but the wisteria and magnolia's are lovely. Everything has its ideal growing zone. Good luck.
I wonder if it was possibly a climate insult to your spring buds.
In my situation for example - its hydrangeas....In summer, branches produce new buds for the next spring. These buds stay dormant all winter and bloom in spring. If winter temperatures got too cold, or if there is a spring cold snap that kills the buds, non-reblooming Hydrangea macrophylla will not produce flowers that year.

A great resource that I have used and highly recommend .....is your local Cooperative extension. These offices are manned by a wonderful team of master gardeners that know your local situation quite well. There's also email ( submit a photo) Q&A resources that have helped my concerns and questions many times. Consider googling up your local extensions office.

For the wisteria, they take a good long while to get established, I would wait another year or two before worrying about the blooms.
Wisteria is finicky. I had one for about 7 years, never did bloom. I finally took it out.
