Bob,
Two approaches I have taken dealing with the drill dust; One is use a
small brush or even a toothpick and carefully brush the dust into the
hole before planting the tree. The other approach is to just ignore it,
and then come back later (after the tree has been planted), and glue
some ground foam along the visible part of the tree trunk where it meets
the ground, covering up the dust.

Because, I had to drill holes for each of the trees, I've come across
a problem that I always seem to have. When drilling into the plaster
the bit will bring up a little pile of plaster dust that is hard to
deal with. I have been coloring my plaster but it's not dark enough
to just leave there. I have some miniature vacuum attachments that I
hope will get most of it up. After that I might try some wood stain.
