Long story short my trident maple had mealy bug and I sprayed it with a mealy bug spray I got from bunnings
Seems as though it has burnt/destroyed the soft new growth
It looks awfully sad right now
Any tips
Should I cut the leaves, leaving the stems? Or just leave it
I also repoted this year about 3 weeks ago

It would help if you sent a photo. If the leaves are burnt then you should remove them, but leave the leaf stem (petiole). This is what happens when tridents are defoliated. I don't know your location but early Spring is a good time to re-pot.
