OK, let's get back to where it all started;
I believe the original post concerned a habitable planet moving into the shadow of the GG that it orbited, such event only occurring very infrequently (200yrs?) & only lasting for, I believe, several weeks.
Considering such a circumstance;
Would a few weeks really matter at all?
How long would it have to be for it to turn into more than a nuisance,   as opposed to a disaster?

 Well, even
 in winter you're getting some sunlight, plus atmospheric
 and oceanic circulation from the summer hemisphere. If you
 cut off all sunlight from reaching the Earth, it would be
 considerably more grim.

 So, how long of a blackout is required to start killing

 Depends on the plant. Remember; deciduous trees go for
 6 or more months at a time without leaves, hence without
 need for sunlight. Depending on when the darkness happens,
 food crops would be dead within a few months. If it happened
 during springtime
  your crops would fail; if it were during the fall, you’d
 get that years crop.



 I found this with a cursory google search http://www.madsci.org/posts/archives/2003-10/1065676398.Bt.r.html




 How long does if have to be for big trees to be affected to
 the point that they could fall down (even if it
 doesn't happen till later)?





 This would  be VERY long…dead trees, in the absence of
 strong winds will remain standing for a very long time.
