It's probably very close to 6'8" or so after trimming and around 3 feet at the widest spread of the added branches.
I didn't disinfect it.
It was about 10 below zero when we got it and I seriously doubt anything was living on it.
It's also a Beech tree which, when young, has a very smooth bark with virtually no crevices for bugs to hide in.
If I'd had to use something craggier like oak, I'd have sprayed it down with F10 solution and let it dry for a couple of days out in the shop.
I have a Shark hand held steamer that blasts crazy hot steam on stuff with 'odd surfaces', too.
