Saguaro cactus

Saguaro cactus grown in a garden pot for approx. 25 yrs. Provides white blooms yearly. Seems healthy. Now it has a round red bulb growing on its side which is a new development. It does not resemble a bloom. Any suggestions as to what this could be? I cannot put a picture on the internet to display the cactus. It is a lovely plant and I would like to repot it into a larger container. It is probably close to 10 ft. tall.

This sounds like the bloom was pollinated. This will lead to a red fruit, where the seeds will be located. There is nothing that needs to be done, as this is part of the natural life cycle.
